Surgery is tomorrow at 10:45am. I am packed. I am ready. Husband is taking me there tomorrow and taking the week off to help me. He is the only one I have told that I am having this surgery. I am so thankful for his support. I am nervous but I am mostly EXCITED!!! This time tomorrow I hope to be resting up from surgery and looking forward to new beginnings.

Getting ready to go. Took a shower. Weighed myself. They will not do the surgery if you are not at or below goal weight I am three lbs under. Not sure why I was so worried i have been trying hard. Got the patch behind my ear. All packed got the copayment toothbrush deodorant and a bundle of nerves I'm so excited. Three hours and it's on. Heading out the door.

Good luck!! Don't forget to take some "before" photos. You'll want those to compare as the weight comes off.

What an exciting day!! Congrats on your big day!

my husband and my kids and mother in law are the only ones I've told. There seems to be mixed feelings about sharing.

Do you mean at or below starting weight?

I survived my surgery. The gas bubbles aren't so fun and I've had some nausea. But day 2 was better than day 1. Moving around better all the time.

      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... :(
