Hello, My surgery is scheduled Sept. 23rd. I am excited and nervous at the same time however I just keep thinking of the positive! I have a friend who had the surgery and she is doing a great job! She's my inspiration and also lends a big hand when my brain spits a million questions out! Keep in touch to let us know how your journey goes! Best of Luck!

Seems to be a growing list of 9/23!!!! Congratulations!! We need to keep an eye on each other!!

My surgery is tomorrow (9/3/14) at noon! My surgeon (Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas) had no pre-op diet, I just can't have anything to eat or drink after 10pm the night before surgery. All he asked was for me to NOT gain weight (which I have not). But I got to reading the paperwork tonight and it said "This surgery is usually completed using laparoscopy alone, but circumstances may necessitate conversion of the operation to an open approach for your safety." I am wishing I had a pre-op diet now, but I followed all of his instructions.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to share my surgery date as well... Sept 11th is the day for me. Sooo many emotions running through me. All I have to say is, there are so many people's lives about to change this month. Looking forward to a healthier me. Is there anyone in the Houston area? Congrats everyone!

My surgery is also tomorrow at noon in Boise Idaho. And my surgeon didn't have up a diet plan scheduled for me just not to gain weight.

      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... :(
