Four weeks out and I had something interesting happen. It was 3 am and I had awoken which is normal for me. Everything was fine and I readjust to go back to sleep. Suddenly I feel something come into my throat. It burned like hell and I thought I was going to vomit. It literally choked me and I shot up out of bed. I didn't vomit but I belched a couple times and everything was fine. I worried about what would have happened had I not been awake? Would I have ended up like Cass Elliot?

I have experienced that. I had it without the surgery. I think believe its acid reflux related. It is very scary, i also felt like I was choking. I jumped up out of bed and took a small sip of Water. Scared the geck out of me. Talj to your doctor about it.

Im worried about aging with the sleeve surgery. Ive had a few family members have this done & they aged. They were older when they got it done. Im 37 years old & my BMI is 35, lower end, but Im so nervous to age 10 or 20 years with the surgery, I might not want to get it done. Does Everyone age? Is it a guarntee that you age with the surgery?

I've lost 135lbs since early February. Everyone tells me I look so much younger. A guy at work tells me I look about 12 years old every time I see him.

I'm 42.

I'm a Michigander, I had mine done a Barix in Ypsilanti. Wonderful experience so far!

Dr. Taylor was also my surgeon! How are you doing? Do you know if they still hold their meetings every third Saturday? I would like to attend and I forgot to ask yesterday at my two week post op

I'm doing great. I haven't had any issues what so ever. I'm having no problems meeting my Fluid and Protein goals.

I'm not sure about the monthly meetings. I never thought to ask either.

How are you doing?

      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?

      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... :(
