That's one of his requirements...support group attendance as a pre op. Are you post op? What was your timeline like?

I had RNY revision on 6/28/12. My dr is up in concord so he recommends a support group at north east med center. I'm hoping to find one in Charlotte.

Hey, Charlotte here. Working, did you find your support group? I am going to one tomorrow night. It's required by my surgeon pre-op too.

Hey working4shoes! I'm in Salisbury and also had Dr. Bauman - June 20th...he's excellent. Do you go to support meetings? I've been thinking about it but don't know when/where.

I love Dr. Bauman, he is great! He has done both of my surgeries. They have a support group it is actually run by the nutritionist Diane and is at the hospital. I don't know when the Sept meeting is though. I live about 40 mins from the hospital so I was hoping to find one that is in Charlotte. I will let you know when the next one is and maybe I will make it up there.

How are you doing so far?

Hey L Belle - Where is your support group located tomorrow? I haven't found one in Charlotte yet.

      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?

      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... :(
