Hi Melissa! I decided to go with the Canadian coordinator for my surgery. Im sooo nervous, but excited too. Where abouts ate you from? You can send me a private message if you like :)

I'm from Las Vegas, NV. It's a much closer jaunt for me, so I plan on driving down to San Diego with my husband. I can't believe that it's only a little over 4 weeks for me.

Have you gotten his pre-op instructions yet?

Hey Melissa,

Yes I have the pre op and post op diets, but I wonder if theyre slightly different with the different coordinators?

      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! 😞
