I just got a call from my insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Shield/State of MS) that I'm approved to have surgery in September! I'm freaking out. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm scared of surgery, but I'm scared of not having surgery and gaining more weight too. I told myself that if I got approved I'd have the surgery, but I'm afraid of things like PAIN. I've read some bad experiences on here that have made me question it even though it seems like most people have good experiences.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
