What can I say about today? Amazing!!!!! If you follow my story , today was day 9 of the wait. I was so tired of hearing "its still pending", I said I would just wait it out. But a relative who had the procedure 9 months ago(one of the few people who know) messaged me today at 7am to ask if I had a date yet. I really did not want to have the conversation cause it was driving me crazy . I answered her and informed her of the process I am going through. At the end of our conversation I thought "what the hell let me call. Normally the rep takes 2 seconds to come back with "pending", after a 10minute hold she returned. Your request was approved and letter sent out today. I think the next 5 minutes I heard nothing she said. The reality of the word APPROVED, was trying to find me. I should have waited until the company called the surgeon's office . But waiting is not easy for me, so I called and left a message. A hour later the scheduler called to let me know that she had a few ahead of me and would call me on Monday to lock in a date. 3hours later I had my three pre-appointments, and a ..................................................SURGERY DATE JUNE 1st

      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! 😞
