Hi everyone. I just joined this afternoon. This site seems to be amazing! I am having my sleeve surgery on 2/24/14, and am just so excited! I can't wait to start my new life! There is a little bit of nervousness and even some self doubt creeping in now that it is getting closer, but I know that I can do this, and do it well! That's all for now, just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Welcome to the forum. I had my surgery on 1/20 and am doing great. I was very nervous but it all was easy and the pain was well controlled. I spent a lot of time worrying for nothing. Now I am on the " losers bench " with only good things ahead. Good luck to you!

Hi Fred, my husband was scared to death, but I was more scared what would happen to him if he did not have the sleeve. We are both 2 months post op and extremely happy. I am off Metformin, and we are both off one BP med each, and both have lost over 40 lbs in 2 months. This surgery has been a Godsend. I don't know your age but I wish we had done this 10 years ago. Best wishes!!!

      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! 😞
