Almost there. 7 more days. Hoping for no hiccups at home and I stay healthy until then. Fingers crossed. So looking forward to surgery.

Dcostella, how was your process? I'm curious to know what the difference is between the kaiser, sutter, and UC Davis programs.

UC Davis has been wonderful!!! I had Kaiser for about 4 years and changed to Davis last year. Kaiser was horrible with my Fibromyalgia. They wouldn't even talk to me about WLS but Davis was great about it.

I love Kaiser however I've tried for many years to qualify for WLS under my joint pain and severe back issues. Never could qualify until I finally hit 40 BMI. Now until this weight is gone, everything just hurts more.

Just got my date today, June 16th!! Getting nervous now!

I'm June 16th too. I have my pre-op physical this week (the 29th), then mini class (6/3) and then pre-op seminar on 6/12. Anyone doing a "last supper" of sorts with your favorite foods? I'm going to go out to a couple of my favorite restaurants and have enjoy some yummy food before my pre-op diet starts. What are y'all planning on taking to the hospital?

      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... :(
