@CrazyBeautifal31- hi! We are practically neighbors. Did you end up having your surgery? If so, who did you go thru? I am super nervous about the approval process now...

That's great! I'm at the stage of waiting to see the Nutritionist on Weds and then to see if insurance will approve. From what I hear, that's the worrisome part. I sure I can be on the losers bench as well as I am tired of being miserable.

Well saw the NUT today, all good, saw the MD again and he ordered an EKG, which I did right downstairs and all good, have to have a mammo which is Friday morning. Md called me a little bit ago and said he pulled my bloodwork from another ms and while he only has a couple things to test for, acid in my stomach and B12 plus a urine test, he said it shows I am pre diabetic!! I was pissed that the dr who took this lab work for me several months ago never told me that!

      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! 😞
