Hello all. I am a first time poster (obviously), but new to any of the talk sites. I thought it was fitting that I am finally scheduled for my plication May 17th and this site comes along. SO I thought I better post. It has been a long journey. I was supposed to go in for the surgery twice before and talked myself out of it because of fear of the unknown. I like you, have spent 12 months trying to get any and all information on this procedure. I am so pleased to see a site like this where people can come talk to others who may have gone through it. I have read many posts on the vertical sleeve talk site and am so grateful for those that posted there. I hope to relay my experience as I move forward. I start my pre-op diet in 3 days and it is starting to get very nerve racking.

welcome and good luck Muskwa! To plicate or not to plicate can be a stressful decision. I also researched WLS for years before taking the plunge. There is a lot of support in this community. Learn all that you can and mentally prepare yourself for this challenge. Remember.. This surgery is only a tool and it requires a lot on your part to make it a success.

Best of Luck!

      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! 😞
