@@Erickah1 - that's pretty typical, being nervous.

Relax, follow your pre-op and ask your team any and all questions NOW. Write them down.

good luck!

When I started the 72 hour freak out, I found this post:

http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/195065-you-know-you-lost-weight-when/

It reminded me why I was doing this. You can do this when you have a clear goal. And getting your weight back to normal is a worthy goal.

Being sleeved June 8th totally nervous. Bitten my nails to numbs, catch myself shaking my foot, cannot concentrate at work very well. Hard time sitting still. Because I have a teenage daughter and I am a single mom had to make a Will that really brought it home. Oh well we will be okay right!? They do thousands of these around the country. Trying to stay in the moment thinking these are the last pre-op days, we will have new lives pretty soon. Good luck! Stay in touch.

I am being sleeved in 3 DAYS!!!! It is my last work day before surgery and I can't seem to get any work done.

Thank goodness my son is graduating tomorrow because I have been so distracted getting his graduation party ready.

It's surgery. Not without risks but staying the way you are is WAY more risky. Hardest part of the journey for me was my leak test (gross barium swallow). That and not being able to "stuff" my feelings with food anymore. But that's a good thing. I'm in touch with what I'm feeling now and owning and loving myself. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

I had the same restless nerves about the surgery until I had the Motility Test. If I can make it through that test the surgery is going to be a walk in the park. Good luck!!

      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.

      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! 😞
