Recommended Posts

It's been a long long at times depressing process but yesterday I finally got my approval!!!!

Hopefully next week I'll have a surgery date!

I just can't believe it's here. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

Congratulations!! I read your topic line and it gave me goosebumps. I too had the two denials and then medical review via phone. It took 11 months from start to finish, but oh so worth the effort. It will be 2 years in December and this has changed my life. No more meds, no longer have Migraines, foot pain, acid reflux etc.I am able to and enjoy a 5 day a week workout regimen but I have new issues now, :-) I WANT plastics.. Free ones of course. This is the best gift you can ever give yourself. Run with it.

Thank you Happy!!!

I look forward to being able to work out without far getting in the way, bouncing every where and sweating like a pig.

The only time I don't feel like that is when I'm swimming. And honestly the only thing I will miss about my fat is how great I can float. Lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
