Hello all...

I am wanting any and all feedback about this process from beginning to current...I am a divorced father of 1. I have limited support emotionally, but have decided to go forward anyway! I feel like I can not know enough. Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated. My first appointment is 3/17/16 and I could not be more excited, nervous, scared, happy...My emotions run the gambit! Thank you all for your input...

Hey there! I am in the same boat as you are. I am a single mom and I have my first appointment this coming Friday. I am so excited, but scared and nervous about the insurance requirements-I am hoping that the nurses will have some good news regarding the vague info that the insurance company has provided. In the meantime, I have just been going through all the posts on here soaking up knowledge on every topic that I can find. There is a lot of great info here! Good luck with your journey!

Welcome! I was so nervous about this journey too, but this forum has been so amazing. I'm towards the end of my consultations. I am hoping to start the final insurance approval beginning of next month. This is a place to ask questions and receive support. If there is a support group in your area I highly recommend it. I was really uncomfortable with the idea of a support group. However after my first meeting, it was a huge help. Good luck to you! [emoji4]

      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! 😞
