I'm so sad and worried now. I was scheduled to have my surgery on Monday, April 4th. When the dr went in to do my sleeve, he found a large mass attached to the lining on the outside of my stomach. So he wasn't able to do the surgery. I now have to see a gastronologist to have the mass looked at before I can have my sleeve surgery.

How scary for for you! Please keep us all posted. Sending positive thoughts your way x

Hello everyone

I've been MIA for a while. But today finally after 8 weeks of submitting my paperwork to the insurance company and being on the pre-op diet for 4 days: my surgery was approved! I'm scheduled for April 18th! So happy. Finally this is really happening! After going back and forth with my insurance company it's all good! It's like I still can't believe it!

Woohoo.

May 2nd for me, I start the liquid diet April 18th. Feeling calm about it right now.

May 2 for me too ;) My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just high Protein low carb. I'm feeling a bit nervous tho.

I'm due to meet with my surgeon, Dr Varban, next week so I don't know exactly what he's going to recommend for the pre-op diet, the team at University of Michigan have a reputation for being a bit strict though so I'll assume I'm on Water for 2 weeks prior and then it can only get better :D UoM recommend Unjury Protein Shakes so I ordered and tried a sampler pack; compared to other shakes I've tried e.g. Muscle Milk, Unjury tastes good. I ordered 3 tubs of Protein Shake powder from Unjury yesterday - Orig chocolate, vanilla, and chicken Soup flavors.

I've talked to many post-Op people from support group meetings I've attended at UoM, ALL say they have no regrets doing the surgery. Many appear to have lost half their original weight.

Good luck!

I am doing well. I came to peace with my decision when I decided to do the procedure. What I try to do is find myself imagining myself reaching my goal. What I will look like. What I will feel like. I also imagine doing the things that I will be able to do once I reach my goal and, the effect it will have on people that I love and care for. You also need someone to support you and confide in.

      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
