I honestly don't know what month mine will be. I have seen Nut (twice) and psych and need to see psych and exercise specialist in March. I have no idea what will come after that. Any ideas? Lol

Just now starting mine. I go to my first Nutritionist visit tomorrow. 6 month supervised diet. Surgery not expected until July or August. Ugh long wait but I'm using this time to adjust my eating habits and hopefully tighten or tone my skin prior. This way maybe not have to much loose skin afterwards and be more prepared for the drastic change. I've seen girls go in and have sugery fairly quick and their results were not good. One girl lost weight and didn't commit to the change and gained it all back. I am going to follow step by step and hoping my willpower is strong to stick with it.

Not until late October or early November for me, I need to wait for my 12 month waiting period with my insurance to be up

Aussie here, too - my 12 months is up on 2 December 2015. The wait is killing me!

Depends on how long you have to see the NUT. I had to do 6 visits. I could do one a month or twice a month. I ended up doing mostly once a month, with the last 3 appts every 2 weeks. You have to complete all your pre-Op tests, and get whatever clearances they require (mine required cardio, which I had to do an echocardio, stress test.. and pulmonology, which required a sleep study and a breathing test.. blood tests.. I have to do an endoscopy.. a psych clearance.. I thought I'd be done in 4 months.. but my friend said probably more like 6-8 months, and my first appointment was in September, and I should be scheduled for March.

      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.

        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... :(
