Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to this app and it's my first post.

I started this journey in January 2016 and finished my last requirement on Thursday. My surgeons office called me on Friday with a surgery date of May 9th and start pre-op diet on April 25th.

I was set on having the sleeve, but my surgeon explained to me that due to my severe acid reflux (GERD), he doesn't recommend it. He suggested the RNY. I've researched it and decided to have the RNY.

I'm super excited to start this journey, on becoming healthier!

Anyone else having the surgery on or around this date?

Best of luck on your surgery! I am having RNY surgery on May 3rd and start my 9 day liquid diet on the 24th. I originally wanted the Duodenal Switch but because of my severe GERD I decided RNY was a better choice.

      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! 😞
