I am from New Jersey too, Old Bridge. It is nice to see so many people near here. I had my sleeve on June 4th. Today I am down 30.2 lbs! Fitting into clothes I haven't worn in four years. Surgery with Dr. Sadek at RWJ. Love the doctor, he did all of my husband's surgeries- band, band removal and sleeve! I have had the worst arthritis flare up since after the surgery, struggling to get pain relief. Been to ER, rheumatologist and soon to orthopaedist. Have a cyst on my left knee causing great pain. I know once I have this behind me my progress will be that much quicker. Some days I feel very discouraged. Going back to work tomorrow, nervous. Going to RWJ support group tonight.

Who wants to meet in Freehold, perhaps August 16 or 17, mid morning, at a diner? Or can anyone suggest somewhere else?

I've just completed my 4th (of 6th) appt. I'm on the hunt for a WLS friendly PCP who will sign off on the medical clearance. I've done the Upper GI, EKG, lab work, psych eval etc and the results are normal. I have copies of the records. Can anyone recommend a dr who didn't give them a hard time with the clearance? I'm in South Jersey but willing to travel.

Thanks!

Sunday is better. Preferably before 12. Freehold is great.

      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! 😞
