How long did it take to get a surgery date ? I call the doctor's office every day hoping to get a date for surgery. Told the doctor is reviewing my chart. I do know that October is booked. Will I ever get a surgery date ? Is anyone waiting for a surgery date ? The waiting is the hardest part. So true

Tom Petty ! I am slowly losing hope . . . .

Dont lose hope!!! It felt like mine took forever too.. My last appt with my dr was 8/18, got approved for surgery on 9/5, and finally just got a call for scheduling last week. He is so far booked that my surgery date isnt until 10/20 which I'm trying to be very happy about but am a little bummed it is so far away it seems like. I would use this time to practice the things you will have to learn to do after, such as waiting 30 mins after eating to drink. And working on exercising more. I hate it. I hate sweating. But I'm slowly working my way towards it. I've been watching an episode of a show on netflix while im on the treadmill and that's been helping so far. Good luck and hope you get a date soon :)

Try getting approved in September and having an approval date of January 2015. I won't even have a surgery date til January and who knows how far it will be out then. I'm praying daily for patience and sanity. I feel like life is absolutely on hold so disheartening.

      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! 😞
