Scheduled mine for 5/24 after paying for expedited service on my passport. Supposed to be in my mail within two weeks... Fingers crossed!

I am planning on around that time also with Dr Ortiz. I am nervous about scheduling due to the fact that I dont have a passport and dont know how long it will take to come in.

While I would certainly recommend getting a passport, if only for the peace of mind value, I did not have one and had no problem whatsoever getting back into the US. I was, however, armed with as much documentation as I could lay my hands on. Getting back into the states without one is done all the time.

I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck to all of my Fellow May sleevers! Some of you are just days away from the beginning of your transformation while others of us are a few weeks away. I hope those of you who are due for surgery any day now will keep the rest of us posted! We will be looking forward to hearing about your surgery and your progress!

      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! 😞
