Hi I am scheduled for surgery on August 11 and would love to have some support. I am having the gastric sleeve and I am 54 years old.

Mine surgery is the same date. I'm 58 and live in Louisiana. Let's keep in touch and share our journey.

I'm having the surgery Monday, I am 57 years old and live in Southern California. I will let you know how it goes and what works for me and what does not afterwards. Getting very nervous, worried, and excited all in one, still feels a little unreal

I want to play with this group!! I am brand new to this site, joined yesterday and have been lurking and reading from all the wonderful information being shared!!

I'm 51, awaiting my official approval (insurance company told me today on the phone I'm approved and my letter is "going out"...), I don't have a surgery date yet... I still have one more hurdle to get over - a stress test - and the cardiologist is going to have me wear a monitor next week for a potential murmur or palpitation?? and the then I'll have the stress test Aug 14th... so I know surgery will be after that. I am traveling 6 hours away for my surgery so I won't be in a local support group (at least not regularly)... The surgery will be in Huntsville, AL where my parents live so mom can take care of me post-op (I'm not dumb, I know a good thing when I see it!!!) My mom is a much better care taker than my hubby or 17 yr old son who would spend more time wanting to know when I'll be back to taking care of them :D This is ALL about me!!!

Good luck with your stress test. My surgery is August 27th and I'm travelong 3 hours to San Francisco to have my operation. I plan on driving every other month to the support group. I'm going to therapy once a week to work on my food issues. Welcome to the group.

Your in the right place. There is a lot of great information on the boards. Try to find a support group in your area. I know I have to come to terms with my relationship with food to have long term success. I read the success stories and see what other people are doing. I look at it as baby steps and the gastric sleeve is another tool to help me loose weight and get healthy.

      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! 😞
