I am hoping for 4/14. Who is your surgeon? When are you going? Which hotel? Which hospital? I am going to go by myself. I would love to have a buddy.

I am pretty sure I am going with Dr Illan. Do you know that Jerusalem Hospital is not really a hospital but a clinic in a strip mall. If you have any complications you would be sent via ambulance to a real hospital. If you are comfortable with that I am cool with that. I just thought I would tell you I case you didn't know. Also you should check into where you go to recover.

I'm undecided yet if I'm going in April or the first week in may. My doctor will be Dr. Illan. I had anxiety this week when I was thinking on scheduling in march so I am giving myself a few days to pick my surgery date.

I am having my sleeve on Friday, April 11th with Dr. Cabrera. I am so nervous and excited! I have done so much research and made my mind up that this is the best decision for me and my health. I am staying at the Marriott Tijuana and surgery at Hospital MI Doctor. I am concerned about how much time I really need to take from work. Flying on the 10th, surgery on the 11th and currently going back to work on Monday the 21st. Just wonder if I need another day or two....

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
