I'm just starting this journey. I went to the seminar in January and I have my dietician appt set up for next week. I'm hoping for a May or early June surgery. I'm getting very worried about the whole thing, I hope I can go through with it. :/

I am just starting the whole process, going to all my appointments. I am not sure if i have to do the 6 month wait or not but i have been preparing my self for the surgery. I have changed my diet and have been working out. I have to go see my doctor on April 29th and tell him what i have decided. But the doctor has me going to group meetings and a seminar, along with going and getting different tests done. I am nervous but excited at the same time. I have been trying for year to loose weight on my own and i have not been able to so i have came to terms that i need a little help. I have a amazing support with my family.

I'm just starting my process as well. I went to the seminar last week Saturday, and my first consultation with my surgeon is exactly a month away. I have my psychological evaluations week after that. My insurance does not require me to do the 6 months. I'm just nervous with anticipation having to wait a month to visit with my surgeon. Congratulations to everyone who are just starting their journey!!!

      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... :(
