Hi there:

I am just about to solidify my surgery date - October of this year. I have been overweight since I was a child and am now 52.

Dieting has got me to 300 lbs. I was sure I was destined to be a prisoner in this body for the rest of my short life.

One day a couple of months ago I was getting groceries and the cashier just randomly starting telling me about her

daughter and how she went to Mexico to have Gastric Sleeve surgery 9 months ago and it was the best thing she ever

did for herself. I remember thinking why is she telling me something so personal. Turns out this cashier is giving me

the biggest gift ever. I didn't know about Gastric Sleeve or it being done in Mexico. I started to research it and now

I am going to have it done. I have gone from feeling hopeless to looking forward to a new life. I am thrilled in knowing

that my future isn't set in stone and that I will live a longer healthier life full of adventures. Sometimes the Universe gives

you a sign. Thankyou and bless you for being brave to tell me your daughter's story. You don't know what a difference

you are making to my life. !!

I had a client who is a bariatric sergeon and he would just randomly start telling me how I would never be able to lose weight and keep it off on my own. This was unsolicited, so I thought he was a jerk. Turns out, while he has poor social skills, he was a gift from God. It took me 4 years, but I finally gave in and had my vsg with him in October last year and at almost 9 months out I'm down 95 lbs. You just never know what forms special gifts will come in.

      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! 😞
