Yesterday FRIDAY THE 13 my flight was sposed to take off at 750am its an hr nd 30 min dr from my house i got a call at one in the morning saying my fligh was delayed til 926am but still make it to my final destination in time wich is sandiego to get sleeved in tj i had to arrive by the lates 1 to get my sleeve that same day. So i leave my house at 7 am to hve an hr to hve an hr to spare at the airport halfway into the trip i remembered i forgot my cashiers check!!!! I had to turn around nd i was gonna miss my flight! I spoke to an agent that was about to change my flight departure to 1030 with 75$ charge nd the call disconnected i called a few more times nd nothing disconnected then finally an answer the agent was soooo rude told my they didnt hve nothin to depart that same day only first class and that i would hve to pay extra $200 ughh i was dying then i said well i got insurance on my ticket she said sorry i dont see it nd u wont get a refund! It was the worse i had almost given up i ask the Lord plz help me i called back again nd a nice agent answered she told me she could get me in sandiego by 450pm the coordinator said by 2 the latest to get surgery or i would hve to do it the next day in the morning by this point i dnt care i just want to get to sandiego nd then i told her bout my surgery she kept looking and she found. Departure at 11:20 am to get to SD at 2pm i was so happy i flew out at 11:20 So i get a connection flight. Flight departing at 120 and in SD by 2 it was a 3 hr flight so then we all board at 1 an they said by 120 there was a delay some circuit wrong with the plane that only would take 20 mins... An hour passed!! They offloaded everyone! Said the flight couldnt depart cause it was something wrong with the plane but that on the broght side there was a brandnew plane coming to get us but didnt know how lon it would take.... We ended up departing at 4 got to sandiego 3 hrs later at 5 pm the coordinator spoke to the Dr and he waited for me so i still got my surgery a little worried after all the bad luck! Nd in the plane both flights i sat in the middle of two big men so i couldnt even strech so uncomfortable! I started to think maybe i just shouldnt get it.. But im glad i did im recoverin today with no gas pain no pain really nd doctor says everything looks good! Thank God .. He also said i was the youngest nd "thinnest patient he had" i got here signed some paper work got blood work staright to the Anesthesiologist nd from there i dnt remember anything until i woke up bout 6hrs later already with the surgery done very drowsy nf i went right back to sleep... I WAS A NERVE WRECK but finally its done :))

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
