Any of you guys getting sleeved in December? I was offered October 16th but due to my upcoming wedding and school and work and blah-blah-blah I had to wait till December. Any one else out there ready to role in December??? My preop diet ( 2 weeks liquid) starts Nov.25th so no turkey for me. I've already informed family I will be a no show this Thanksgiving, so worth it though. I decided to have a pre-Thanksgiving the Saturday before.

I have my psych eval at the end of this month and hopefully will be scheduled for December. So far on the nutritionists diet I've lost 10lbs. Are you guys required to be on a special diet before your pre op liquid diet like me?

Yes, I am required to be on a liquid 2 weeks before,mine starts on Nov 25th. Luckily I wasn't asked to lose weight prior to surgery. Although I think it's because I had lost a few lbs between my consult and my NUT visit.

I got denied for my psych eval. I'll find out this Tuesday if he will clear me. Unlike you guys, I have to have clearance from everyone and have everything done in order to get a date. Which is a bummer.

That stinks! Can you get a second eval?

I think all of us need clearance from different docs. Imbself pay and had requirements too. I'm concerned about my EGD. Hopefully I will be cleared.

Good luck on Tuesday!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
