So far so good all I have left is my cardiologist and pulmonologist appointments left then its a matter of waiting for GHI so hopefully my surgery should be somewhere in late october yeah just in time for the Holidays! My Bariatric surgeon did mention I might have to take stomach meds along with my plavix so I dont get an ulcer down the road i dont know how I feel about this yet. Thanks Missy hope all is well with you.

Um, well the hubby and kids were pretty amazing too,but I mean the best thing I've done for ME. :D No regrets, i had a very easy time,easy recovery,etc. I really commend you on your choice and wish you all the best!!

If you want something that will make you suffer rny is the way to go. If I take just 1 more bite of food I vomit. If I have high sugar of anything I have dumping. I love it! Not the dumping or vomiting but what happens to me cuz it keeps me focus & I rarely repeat my self. Once I know it didn't agree I try to stay away if no sugar free subtitude or I don't eat oily greasy food I would get so sick.

3 years ago i was slammed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis which left me jobless ( i had 3 ) and no energy ro go grocery shopping.

I am 2 1/2 weeks postop and the energy i have is amazing. I spent 4 hours cleaning for graduation and I feel amazing.

If you knew how good i feel and if i only had to add an extra pill it is soooo worth it.

I feel sexy and skinnier and i loved to eat but trading my love of food for a healthy body and prolonging my knee replacement is worth it.

If you take blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol meds you can kiss them good bye.

Your gift of health is the best gift they could get for christmas.

Just saying.

Missy

Hello.

Again just checking in on you and how the process is going. To see if you have started to collect any items for surgery.

      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! 😞
