I see my surgeon on Friday, Jan. 16th. We are going to plan my date for Sleeve surgery. I had the Lap Band and it did not work for me. Too much discomfort from the port and my body does not like foreign objects in it. I had a lot of scar tissue wrapped around the band and its components. I have put on 25 lbs since its removal on July 29th. I am looking forward to this as I am ready for a change. I am newly married and my husband is a great support. This change will help out everyone in my family. I want more energy as I love to do so many different things and just too darn tired after work. I also sit in an office all day too! Everyone in my family is over weight with diabetes and HBP. I don't want to be living the way I see them living their lives. I have already started looking for a new job that will at least have me up and moving around.

      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! 😞
