So glad to hear that @@edie091371! I know that was something that worried you. My hope is that they are used to finding our shy veins and it won't be as big a deal as it is at some places.

I called the surgeons office today just to make sure everything was in order. It wasn't. It is a good thing I called. They were still waiting on the results of one blood test that my PCP's office swore they did but had not sent the results to the surgeons office yet. Come to find out they never did that test. I had to go down there, get the test and hopefully they will get the results. Let that be a lesson to those that have not made it this far. Call, call, call your surgeons office to ensure everything is in their hands. What would have happened if I hadn't called? I could have gone to the hospital just to be turned away and had my surgery postponed.

Wow @@395Ron . I am so glad you called to find out!! Getting postponed would be heartbreaking.

I found out today that my surgeon is will to keep me in the hospital a couple of days extra if I feel I need it. That was very comforting. I was worried about going home too soon! I feel that everything is in order but will call Monday morning one more time to be sure!!

      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
