i am going June 9 too, unless they get me in earlier. One thing I don't have to worry about is my work, my boss, is so happy for me she has been onboard right from the start

I'm in Illinois, I am excited and nervous, but I am so confident in my surgeon. he has a very low complication rate and in all the years he's been doing bariatic surgery, he has never lost a patient, and only had 1 with a pulmonary embolism.

I'm not nervous about the surgery I'm more nervous about the recovery.

That is great news, how long have you been waiting for an answer from your insurance company?

They sent to my.insurance on 5/2 I was approved Friday. The only reason it's the 9th is that I have to take my pre-op classes

      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! 😞
