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 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! 😞
