So I went to my pre op appointment Wednesday and from the previous appointment I was told my surgery was going to be dec. 1, but they pumped it up to this Monday.Iam so nervous IAM glad I have a good support system because I COULD NOT do it alone. Kids have to go to school and such. Hopefully everything turns out great ????

Just keep a positive attitude. Follow your doctor's orders exactly and drink and walk as much as you can. Sending prayers up for you and your surgeons.

pumped it up to Monday

@@ELI.p.m

how exciting to be told your surgery is being moved up

better than moving it back a week or so :o

surgery has been sprung up earlier than planned - that is so exciting

great that you have people right there to support you :)

OMG - monday is the day after tomorrow, or the day before tuesday :huh:

hmmmm i think they are one in the same!! :D

good luck

speedy recovery

Good for you! Now you can get it over with and start healing. That is over a week less that you have to worry. Don't forget to take some chapstick.

Iam getting butterflies in my stomach from nervousness and excitement... GOD has surely blessed me. Can any of you tell me what to take ?? The hospital is about a hour ...hour and a half with traffic.

From what I've read, I plan on taking my phone and charger, slippers, roomy comfy clothes for going home in, Gas X strips, Burt Bees extra moisturizing lip balm, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, my reg meds and my own pillow for sleeping and for padding on the drive home. If possible, use a dark or brightly colored pillowcase so you don't forget and leave it behind.

I think it's probably good to have less time to stress before surgery. Best of luck and looking forward to a post op update. A new world awaits you!

      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.

      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! 😞
