Manibeaux, the most important thing to remember on the flight home is to be like a little kid and fidget!! Keep your legs and feet moving and get up once or twice to stretch your legs!! GOOD LUCK in your journey and I hope to see you post some updates!!!

Hi everyone! I received my insurance preapproval and surgery date today. :)

I could have had it performed on October 31st, but I ultimately went with Friday, November 6th so that I wouldn't miss my daughter's Halloween festivities.

Super excited, but also super nervous.

My clinic requires a 2 week liver shrinking diet, but I think I will do it for 2.5-3 weeks to be on the safe side. So, I guess I'll start that this weekend.

Packerfan, when my girls were that age, that's probably the answer I would have gotten too! LOL But now that they're 44 and 46, they appreciate their old Mom! They do tend to try to boss me around though.

HI Glass!!! I am excited and happy for you!! I had to have my surgery right at Halloween time so I wouldn't be tempted to turn off all the lights in my apartment and binge out one last time on all that GREAT Halloween candy!!

November 4th for me. Packers fan here too;) I've been going to a monthly support group that like this site has both pre-op and post-op sleevers. All the information has been so valuable and I think it keeps me from being so nervous knowing there is so many success stories.

My surgery is scheduled for October 22 and I too am alone as my kids are grown and moved out. Although my son lives nearby with his wife. Doing the two week liquid pre op diet. All tests have been completed waiting on results I of the sleep study. Looking forward to the rest of my life being healthy finally.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
