I am!! My surgery is scheduled for 10 am on 4/3. I go to my last pre-op appointment tomorrow, and I guess I'll start my pre-op diet on Thursday. I have lived in SC for the past 2 1/2 years, but am originally from Ohio. Best of luck to you!! Stay in touch so that we can compare notes! It's nice to finally know of someone with the same surgery date!

Glad to meet you :). I go tomorrow for my pre-op testing for the surgery. I am lucky, I only have to do my clear liquid diet on the day before surgery. I can't believe it is all happening in about 2 weeks!!! Yes, definitely stay in touch!!

Hi All... I'm on 4/3 also in Boston.. Did my pre-op testing last Thursday. My surgery is at 11 AM.

I'm getting so excited, and nervous!! I'm spending my weekend cleaning my house. I live alone, but will have many people in And out if needed. Are you all scheduled to stay in the hospital for 2 nights ? They say I should be out early Saturday afternoon..

I'm going to try and pop on while I'm in there. I'll look for all of you and say HI to our new lives ;)

Hi and welcome to the 4/3 club lol! I am staying in the hospital for 1 night. I am in NJ. I am getting very nervous! I know this is the best decision and I have been working a long time to get here, but I get these panic thoughts of "what the heck are you doing". April 3rd, just get here already!!

Hi Lynne! My surgery is at 10 am on Thursday. My surgeon says two nights, but I've heard of people just staying one night. Guess it'll depend on how I feel by then. I'm in SC. Best of luck to you, and please stay in touch!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
