Pre op i was 270 ils and am now had have been 148 for a few years i even had my 2 child 4years out of surgery and stayed healthy during the pregnacy and was able to loose the extra weight which i am not gona lie scared me. I now enjoy getting dressed up and going to parties not to mention vacations but most of all i now enjoy my life and no longer obsess on how heavy i am. I wish you all much success and congrats on getting approved. Ps there will be days in the beginning that you may say why did i do this but stick threw it that part is only temporary. And the long term is so worth it.

Hang in there. The antibiotics made me so sick. I guess so there's nothing in your stomach. Good luck on your surgery. You'll be fine.

My name is Donna and I had the gastric bypass on aug 20, 2010 it was the best decision I have made in getting my life back on track and I'm down 214 pounds thus far with about another 100 pounds I would like to loose yet. But my energy level is trough the roof now and I'm doing things I haven't been able to do in years.

      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! 😞
