So how are you all feeling? I've wanted this for so many years..... But now it's a reality!!! I'm quite nervous about it, I think that is mainly because of the association/addiction I have with food!! Xx

I can't wait for it to be over now, I've prepared myself in my mind although I am a little nervous as I've never had surgery before but I have confidence in the surgeon I've chosen and done everything I can to prepare so I am confident there is nothing I can change at this point.

I am scheduled for Oct 14th. I have been waiting for 8 months now to get banded and now that I am actually scheduled I am a bit nervous. I have been consumed with reading posts, watching videos, and absorbing as much information as I can prior to the surgery. I really want this to be a huge success!

The pre-op is going better than I expected but still hard. One minute I feel like I am full enough and can do this and the next minute I think I am going to starve to death and contemplate cheating. Hopefully the ups and downs will slow down the further into this I get! The scale is definitely a motivator when I see the numbers going down.

Surprisingly, I'm actually not too terribly hungry on the pre-op diet. I have, however, had an unbelievable headache for a solid week now. I'd given up my beloved Diet Coke awhile ago, so that surprised me. Spent Sunday in the emergency room getting what they called a "migraine cocktail" drip. I also have a lot more $ and free time now that I'm not spending it in drive-thru's.

Wishing everyone well! :)

Hi guys!!! First of all good luck to you all as I see that some of you are probably banded already now!! I actually started this journey a couple of years ago and a week before my surgery my ic denied me ( it was a fluke). So here I am at it again and I got approved! Day one of liquid diet. Band date October 23!!!

      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! 😞

        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... :(
