My surgery date is October 6th. I'm so excited. My surgery was cancelled twice this year after my pre-op testing. Hopefully, this time will be a go!

Hello October sleevers! My surgery date is October 14th in Pittsburgh and I can't wait! I had Lap-Band about 8 years ago and gained back all the weight I lost, plus about 25 pounds. With the band I lost more than 100 pounds but it was then removed due to complications about 6ish years ago.

I started researching the sleeve when the scales kept climbing even with diet and exercise. I started the process this time around at 256 (I am pretty short too) and through the monthly lifestyle program down about 15 pounds. I have been approved by insurance and have almost all my pre-op tests completed (I have that physical and blood work next week). I am very excited to start on this journey again and I remember how much this forum helped me the first time around. I mostly just creeped on other posts last time, but it truly helped when I posted and participated - so here I am!

I look forward to connecting with all of you and I hope everyone is as psyched as I am!

I had a lap band 7 yrs. ago. I had an erosion and it was removed. I have done lots of research on the sleeve and feel deep in my heart that this is the right choice for me. I am so excited to start my life over. My surgery date is Oct. 27th. I hope to be able to find you October sleevers on this site because I believe that support is so important. We know each others struggles like no one else can. It will be fun to catch up with each other.

I'm being sleeved October 14 in Tijuana. There is a group of 6 people going down to the same place with a person who was sleeved there 6 years ago. She's been helping sleevers ever since. I don't know any of the people going down. Hoping to make some friends. I know support is the key and am looking to be part of a support group here and if possible, at home.

The Mexico thing has me a bit nervous as well as the flight to San Diego. I haven't flown in 14 years (pre 911). But it's only a 1hr flight, not too bad though. That's how important it is to me to have the surgery....I'm going to fly...LOL.

      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... :(
