Where are you having your surgery? Mine was done by Dr. Boorse at LVHN.

I was with Dr. Noonan! her! She is very spunky! I was blind sided with my original dr. My insurance would not cover it. Her team stepped up and got me in just in the nic of time and I could not be more thank-ful. Although the "hospital staff" could of been a lot better.

I had a great experience with their hospital staff! How long ago did you get your procedure done and how are you doing? I have had a rough past 6-7 months with family stuff and all and have taken a few steps backwards. Time to start over

@ wayne, I had mine on 11/22. Apparently everyone was "new" when I had mine. I am actually doing very well. I posted a bit earlier with my inches lost since surgery. I have dropped around 28lbs. I still have trouble with raw so I am staying away from it. I am still doing more soft foods than anything. I just had a conversation with a local that had the sleeve done and she is going to do a reboot. Same predicament that you are in. You can do it! We all support you.

Hi. I'm from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. Schuylkill County. I'm getting mine done at Geisinger, Danville. Don't have a date yet.

I have been in the program before and have dropped out. Cold feet. Hopefully I will stick with it this time.

      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.

        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... :(
