Hoosier hottie,

I never read blogs but for some reason I clicked on your wordpress link.

You are a fantastic story teller! I delayed my morning shower to read your story beginning to end.

Loved it.!

Thank you for your honest and consistent accounting. As it turns out I am exactly one year after you (Feb 4 2014).

Different Dr though, so it's not totally freaky.

I just thought I'd say hi and great job! (In your writing and life) Cheers to you!

W.

I came across Hoosier's blog before I found this message board.  This was where I first learned of Mexico as an option (I had NO idea people did this!) and her blog convinced me to call OCC in the first place.  Thanks Hoosier!

Mazzers, glad to see you got your flight logistics cleared up. I just got tickets for my 12/20 surgery date today.

Kindle- My surgery is the same day! Also, we are flying from San Diego into SLC too, which is where I live. My husband is coming with me so if you are flying alone on the 23rd, we can help you out . At least until Salt Lake. When are you flying in?

HoooserGirl is great. I still find myself going back and reading her older posts again because she's such a great writer and super funny. Kudos, HG!!

Hey, B2B, how are you feeling these days? Have things gotten better now that you've been at work longer? Able to eat OK?

I'm flying into San Diego on 12/19. We will definitely hook up. My return flight leaves SAN at 3:20....same flight as yours?

How much does he charge for, sleeve and band? Can anyone give an estimate

We sign a contract saying we won't share the cost of our surgery but I can tell you if you email them they contact you pretty quickly with the cost :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
