Grrrr. Got a call today. The surgery coordinator was off for a couple weeks. Apparently the person taking over for her messed up. My surgery was bumped from 10/6 to 10/14. Then my husband called and bitched. She called me back a few hours later and said they had a cancellation 9/22 if I wanted it. That's just a little toooo soon since I haven't planned for it, have patients scheduled, would have to start post op diet TOMORROW. She said she was going to offer someone else on 10/6 the earlier appointment and try to get me back on 10/6. Still haven't heard back from her! Soooooo frustrating.

I go on Thursday for a clinical seminar with the RN to go over what to expect before and after the surgery as well as what to expect the first couple weeks after surgery and then after that I go for all the pre-op testing (EKG, bloodwork etc). Then a week from today I go in for the Upper Gastroscopy. Things are moving quick now that I have gotten the approval and date of surgery. Anyone feeling anxious? I am so excited but so nervous.

I'm incredibly excited but very nervous! Totally understand how you feel! I'm on a 1200 calorie diet this week and Optifast for 2 weeks afterwards, then surgery Oct 6. :)

I am scheduled October 1.. All approved by insurance and just prepping

Buying the stuff I need...

Anyone know a place to buy Isopure drink??? Cheaper than GNC

October sleeves hope to stay in touch

I've noticed a lot of people saying they have purchased isopure. Is that because your surgeon suggested it? Or because of another reason? Just curious. :)

      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
