Thank you for that info! I've never heard if that before. Interesting! I hope that clears up super fast for you!

Alright, I have one more question. What exactly is a NUT? I see it on here all the time and I think it's the dietician, but not sure :)

I am super new here but I believe it stands for Nutritionist....I could be wrong though! Haha

I am waiting to hear from the surgical coordinator. I have called and sent emails. I am so excited I cant sit still. I have everything done except my Edoscopy which is next Wednesday. I am hoping she calls me and says next month. I am on pins and needles... LOL. To all of you that are in the same boat I am, I hope all goes well with everyone. I know I havent been this excited in a long time. "STOKED"

Hi! My surgery is July 9th. I'm 5 ft and 206 pounds. I chose the sleeve but thinking about switching to gastric bypass. Anybody have thoughts on that ?? I also would love to have someone to go through this journey with!!

Hey jaxsee I'm July 9th too. There is no reason for you to have a bypass. You're only 206!!! Sleeve is the way to go. We can be buddies!!! So excited to start this journey. My hubby and family are not happy with this decision so support is greatly appreciated. I'm 265 5'2" 36 yrs old. I wish everyone success!!

The dr office is submitting to my insurance next week. They are saying they would schedule for first part of August if everything comes back ok. I just turned 45, and can't wait to get this new journey started. I am currently at 310 and 5'11". I am getting the sleeve.

I am hoping to have my sleeve the first week in July! So glad for a support group! I will be having it done in Mexico. Self pay! Down fall is you don't get the help beforehand? So I am doing a lot of reading. Any support would be great!

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

      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! 😞
