@, wow! You were so fortunate they found those clots. Guess I shouldn't whine too much about a month's delay, especially since I'm super excited for your upcoming VSG (everyone's really).

@@LovelyBrown, the psychologist on my psych exam approved me but suggested I seek additional counseling to get the issues I have with food sorted out to maximize my success. That was a good call on his part. The toughest thing about his exam was the zillion page questionnaire I had to fill out! I'm completing six months supervised diet before I can even schedule, so I'm envious.

I went to see the cardiologist for a cardiac eval and walked out with out one. The Dr saw something and wants a 2 day stress test. Nov 23rd is my last appt with the surgeon for my 6 month supervised diet. He wanted all the evaluations into him on that date. Well it isn't going to happen as I have the Breathing test on the 25th. Now the 2 day stress test can't be done until Dec 2 and 3rd. The results will be told to me on Dec 7th. So I don't know now if I will be having my sleeve and gallbladder surgery in Jan or not. I am having no problems and thought this would be a very easy and quick evaluation. Sure hope whatever the Dr found is nothing. However if it is, it was good that it was discovered before I was on the table.

I'm 21st December 5weeks away!! Can't wait!!

Lol wow, that is close when you say it like that! I'm scheduled for 12/16/15, which is the soonest they could get me in. Work picks up big time at the first of the year. It's a desk job, so I should be ready to jump in again before the crazy work gets out of control.

I'm not looking forward to the pre-op diet, but then again I sort of am.... Let's get this going!

When do you start your pre op diet? I start on the 14th December.

@@songsmith thanks :) I have my pre-op visits early next week, then it will be the week of Thanksgiving, and the week after that is sleeve time! It's going to fly by and be here before I know it, and I'm sure yours will, too.

Time seems to be going by fast....big day is scheduled for December 8th. I guess I'd better get to the grocery store. Thankfully I only have to do a week of pre-op diet but I'm stoked!!!!!

      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... :(
