Hi there! Just joined bariatric pal & was so happy to see posts from fellow Marylanders! I go to school in Catonsville, but I live in Frederick & am being sleeved by Dr. Stephen McKenna sometime in October. I've done most of my pre-op clearance stuff. Only the pulmonologist and cardiologist left! I go for a stress test this coming Monday, but I'm not really worried about any of it. My insurance required a six month waiting period, so I've been at this for a few months now. I'll have my clearance appointment at the end of September and I can't wait!

Nice to meet all of you! Wishing you all the best luck!

Hey MD. If anyone new or shortly post op. I have a few things I am moving on from or off. I over bought powder and have really been relying on premier ready made shakes for convenience. I have a large unopened bag of chocolate Bariatric Advantage brand shakes. I also have 3 items that are open not completely used 2 bottles of multi Vitamin chewables (Bari advantage brand) 1 bottle almost entirely full of Bari adv Calcium (I can't do these too berry and too sweet for me) and finally an unopened bottle of liquid Multi vitamin. I work in PG DM if you are interested --- completely free.

      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
