Stuff just got real!

Last week after attending an informational seminar, I decided to go ahead an set up a consult with the surgeon. Earliest I could get in to see him was September 9 - which today it hits me, dang, that's 4 weeks away! So I called his office today to see if any cancellations come up. They said none had, but they would call me if any did.

Lo and behold - they called me a few minutes ago - a cancellation came in and I can see him at 10 tomorrow!

Must sit down and write out all the questions I thought I had plenty of time to do! Must also remember to breathe :unsure::D

Congrats on your first steps! I had a virtual consultation with my surgeon last week and I was soooo nervous! He was soo patient with all my questions! What's helped me the most so far was connecting with someone on here who had surgery at the same clinic with the same doctor. She was able to give me a fly by fly on her experience and answer questions I had about the exact place I'll be going! Each doctor does things differently so it really eased my mind to read all her info. Just remember, the consult is just that. You aren't committing to anything that you don't want to do. Good luck :)

I've been on contact with a few folks who have used this doctor. They were great about answering questions. Love the support on this board!

Only one negative - not sure if my hubby is going to be able to make the appointment on this short of a notice :( And of course, now I've forgotten everything I wanted to ask lol But I know everything will work out for the best :)

      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! 😞
