@@Shaunie what made you decide to go with RNY?

Hi, I had the lab band done 8 years ago and this past sept. Had to have it removed due to prolapse. I wanted to do GB then but my surgeon did not do it laproscopicly so I chicken out. I have a good amount of weight to lose roughly 130lbs so for me GB will be the perfect tool to help me with that. I'm pretty nervous!! I also have 2 small boys, which is the most important reason why I am doing this. I have an amazing husband which will help me reach my goal also. No early 4th celebration for this girl I figure ill have plenty to Celebrate afterwards. ;-)

Ok! And yeah if they didn't do these surgeries laparoscopicly these days I think a lot of people wouldn't do it. Well congratulations again!

Just learned that my reassessment has been bumped to Thursday next week AND that AETNA decided this week to mandate another month of dietitian visits for all incoming patients. Looks like I am waiting again. School starts for me the second week of August with teacher in-service and training. The time crunch is going to be a challenge.

One of the things I've seen here in the forums that will help me during preop is that being busy and distracting from the waiting process helps. Planning ahead for each "meal" of the day and prearranging exercise for each day is for the best. My very healthy daughter says to exercise outside because the heat helps keep you from feeling hungry afterward. In addition, everyone here is sooooo supportive. The process would be much more difficult without y'all.

Thanks but it seems like it has taken forever to get this surgery date. I had basically all my requirements done at the end of last year. My medically supervised diet ended in April and I had all my pre surgery blood work done almost two months ago. Heck I didn't even know blood work for surgery was good for that long, I always thought blood work was good for only a couple of weeks before surgery. It's been rough cause I had to lose 32 pounds before surgery and I actually ended up losing 54 but I still have to try to keep it off till July. I'm sick of all of this lol. I'm just patiently waiting though. But not going to lie, I wasn't expecting the process to be this long. It's been almost a year.

Great job losing 54lbs!! That is fantastic! Just a bit longer to go!

After my husband did some additional research, I am doing the sleeve now. Just switched!

Hi ameade, I'm also scheduled for GB July 5th!

Hi Shaunie!! It is great to meet you! One of my biggest fears was malnutrition. I was set on RNY after alot research. However, my husband decided to do additional research and he said no way because of that. So, I just switched to Sleeve.

      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
