I have my band to sleeve revision on Aug 11. I would love a friend or someone to chat with that I can give and get moral support, share ideas, etc. My family is supporting me but I want somebody who really understands what I am going thru.

I'm doing mine on Monday. I am very anxious and becoming emotioanl from the stress. I've been miserable with the band for 10 years now. But I want my life back so badly. I haven't worn a pair of shorts since 2005, and I live on the Texas coast!! It's HOT outside and I miss out on so many things because it's too hot to hide in long sleeves and jeans. While the devil puts the doubt in my head that this wil fail too, I am ready to prove him wrong.

Good luck, learn as much as you can prior to sleeve, learn how to sip your drinks and ween yourself away now from caffeine and soda, exercising prior to surgery is also beneficial, light circuit training works, and don't be afraid to ask your surgeon anything, you need to comfortable with them, I had mine on June 10th in San Antonio and I am making great strides, inbox me if you need anything, but on some questions it is best if you are told to ask your surgeon since a lot of the regimens vary, like diets, Protein intake, and post op diets, this is your journey and it is much easier with the right support!!!!!! See you on the loser's side

Hey Jen. I think I sent you a private message. Not sure if I did it correctly or not.

      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.

      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! 😞
