Dont know what I am feeling. Mixture of doubt and excitement. Highest weight now and I don't know what else to do. Get xrays and ekg same day. Then dietician about a week from now. Got psych paperwork to fill out. I never binged on food so some of the questions seemed aimed at that. I make poor choices and dont exercise. Any one else feel that way?

I was actually going sleeve but I am leaning towards band. My family wants me to be able to reverse the procedure if I need to down the road. I am looking at about 100 to 125 to lose. I also cant afford to miss alot of work. So band seems to be it.

I just took my psychiatric evaluation this last Friday. Yes they have some odd questions. But i just answered honestly. My test was 450 questions. Waiting for results and have an procedure class next week. I am excited and nervous. The nurse at the Docs office said I should have my surgery the beginning of January. After approval of course. Just wish time would move faster. I'm just excited to get the ball rolling on weight loss and a new healthier me!

      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! 😞
