I got my surgery date last week--on my birthday!! Yeah-June 7th!! This is my gift to me from me....a new beginning for a new way of life! I am so excited, and as the time draws closer, I expect to feel some apprehension--maybe.... Getting people trained to cover for me at work is my biggest headache right now. (You;d think I was going on a 6 week cruise!) :D

Hi Everyone,

I am scheduled for June 29 here in NJ with Dr. Sadek. I started with a seminar back in July then scheduled a visit with the surgeon for December. I always wanted June because I am able to take time off from work with no penalty. I have been to the nutritionist twice, gone to the pulmonalogist, cardiologist and gastro. I have been cleared by psych and have my cardiac tests this week and scheduled my endoscopy for May 3.

I cannot wait!

What hospital will you have your surgery?

My doctor said I could lose but not gain. Would any of you all be interested in joining if I started a Facebook group? I saw one on here but I messaged her weeks ago to join and never got a reply back. I thought since we were all within a couple months that I might start one for us. Let me know if you are interested.

I am interested in your facebook group. My date is 7/11, my facebook name is Sheika Pryce.

Hello,

I'm almost there as well. I have AETNA which requires a 3 month waiting period. I completed my psych eval, and exercise assessment this week. My 3rd NUT class is June 3 and my EDG is scheduled for June 7, with my last class being July 8. I'm hoping to get scheduled for the end of July or the beginning of August. sleep apnea and cardiologist tests were done by my PCP before referring me to bariatric surgeon. Was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, but was a candidate for surgery without it due to my BMI. My insurance requires 3 month of nutrition classes, sleep apnea, cardiologist, psych eval, exercise assessment and clearance letter from PCP which are all done. After next week all requirements will be done except my last NUT class.

Ok, I have a suggestion, after your psych eval make sure you read their report.

I went to my psych eval. the psych. asked me "do you do the house work" I said no actually my husband is retired, I go to work and he takes care of the house.

What he typed is the following "patient doesn't launder her clothes"! Ugggh totally different than the truth! My husband does the laundry BUT my cloths are laundered...uggggh

      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! 😞
