August 28th is the Date!



Recommended Posts

I finally got my surgery date! Tuesday 8/28/07. I am having it done at Legacy Good Sam in Portland, OR. I can't believe I have finally gone thru the hoops and have a date. My mom is coming up from CA for my surgery and is coming a week early so we can play! I know the 28th will be here before I know it.

Congratulations! You must be so excited. It's good that your mom will be there to help you. My mom will also be helping me with the kids for a couple of days after my surgery on Wednesday. Good luck!

Hi to all of you, I was banded on the 28th as well. Things are going pretty well. I found out today that my doctor did a hiatal hernia repair when he placed the band. Maybe that is what is making me feel as if I can't take a deep breath? Did any of you have the repair?

I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I only seem to have trouble w. deep breaths when I first get up and am stiff. I do have the referred gas pain in my left shoulder and just lots of gas pain...I do not care for that!

      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... :(
