I got mine for June 15.. Excited and ready.. But I don't want my job to know . Any suggestions.

. I got sleeved on may 11th. I originally kept it a secret and filed my FMLA paperwork with someone that I trusted. Now that I've had the surgery, I've had to tell people. My work is constantly having food days where everyone usually participates. In order to still be a team player, I had to tell them. The support has been great! Do what's best for you and good luck!!

I only told 1 person at work. I think I'm gonna take a leave of absence. Not sure what kind of paperwork I'll need for this tho. I don't want to tell anyone.

Yay. I know your excited as well. I was real nervous but my surgeon was very confident in which I started to feel more at ease. Wish you lots of luck!!!

I'm scheduled for next week. I'm nervous too. I guess I'm getting the pre surgery jitters. I was so confident about this then BOOM I got a date and began second guessing myself. I know it's just nerves though so I'm sticking to what I was planning before my brain and emotions started to go haywire. :-) See you on the other side of the scale!

I'm feeling the same way. When I first started the journey I was like this is gonna take forever. Now I second guess myself and ask if this is really what I wanna do. I know it's nerves.

I was sleeved April 20 and the worst part of my sleeve experience was the uncertainty before surgery. The surgery and recovery have been uneventful by comparison.

I talk to my bestie today and she calmed me and set me straight. She reminded me that I've lost 30 lbs before, the problem I s that that is precisely where I get stuck! Then I get frustrated and end up creeping back up. This is what I need and I know it.

you will be fine. The nervousness is completely normal! I wasn't nervous until after my surgery, I felt like I made a huge mistake. It's now been about three weeks and I'm down over 20 pounds. It's tough to be on puree for three weeks but it's worth it. Best of luck!

I told the people at work , church and family. I want a strong support system. I believe it will make a big difference with my progress.

      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! 😞
