I have never participated in a support group because my surgery was 12 years ago. In fact, the pre-op was simply him drawing what was supposed to be a stomach on a manila folder, circled a small portion and said "this will be the size of your stomach...are you ok with this?" I am here for anybody who has questions, etc....I've lived it and I'm a success story.

Wow, you look it too! I just had my surgery May 21 and although I normally would'nt log on to something like this, I need all the support and help I can get to loose the weight and keep it off, and most importantly live a healthy lifestyle. I live in the San Diego area, my surgeon is Dr. Wittgrove. So far I've had a few set backs but feeling optemistic. :)

Not from San Diego, but wish I was! Love it out there! I'm from the frozen tundra: Wisconsin. I visited SD in January and it was about 72 the whole time I was there. I came back and we had the coldest week all year: a HIGH of 20 below zero!

I just moved here a year ago from Rochester, MN. I lived there 5 years and had enough of the frozen tundra and decided to move. I love it here but you pay high prices to live in this paradise.

The housing is crazy out there although the rest of your prices are right in line with what we pay in Wisconsin. My husband and I are thinking of moving but we're going to need help with moving expenses...crazy housing!

      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! 😞
