Hello Notforthefaint,

I am in Davie out west near Weston. I am hoping I will get my surgery date in early August. I have my sleep study on Fri 6/26 then one more visit for Nutrition and my endoscopy in July. Hopefully, I get a fast response on the approval from insurance.

He was recommended by my primary MD, she sId he had a very low complications rate for surgeries and the RN in her office used them for her band surgery last year.

When I met him I went with my ex-husband (he'd had a bypass and out-ate his surgery as Dr. Wizman put it).

He would have been my first thought honestly but he wasn't listed in-network for my insurance.

I am however ecstatic with my surgeon Dr. Radecke up in Sebastian.

We hit it off immediately. My next appointment is this coming Tuesday and I am already chomping at the bit!!!

I want to know what's next??

I don't know if I count but I'm across the way in Fort Myers. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Bass and I should get my surgery date any day now.

      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?

      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... :(
