I am new to this forum and I have to say this is an awesome resource. I have had every question answered and when I thought that there was no way I could have this surgery...I read these posts and reevaluated my choices. I am happy to say that I WILL be having the Gastric sleeve procedure. I have been following the pre-op diet and I am awaiting my psychologist appt. so no date yet. I can't wait for the new year, the new me. Knee pain GONE. Back pain GONE. Shoulder pain GONE. And a thinner me....GORGEOUS :) I am 52 yrs old, happily married with 5 grown kids and 7 grandkids. It's MY TIME!

Hey there! I am also 52 and waiting to finish jumping through hoops to get my date. My psych eval is on the 3rd of November and will hopefully have a date soon after that. I am hoping for December and am currently doing everything to make sure I am successful. It is definitely my turn :)

Welcome! I am 53 and more than likely won't be getting my surgery until sometime next summer. I've already jumped through several hoops, and now I have to wait until next month for my required 24 weeks of classes to commence. Given the holidays I probably won't finish them until sometime in May.

After that there's even more hoops and tests, but I'm hoping for no later than a July surgery. I'm trying to pass the time in between learning and preparing as much as I can.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
