I'm thrilled to have the honor of being among the strong women and men of this amazing support group.

As I prepare for my weight loss journey, I will be taking copious notes of all your advice.

I am having it done by the great Dr. Frank Veninga of Carrollton tx...Dallas area

Oh dear no...lol...my Dr. Is pretty laid back. I'm not even doing the pre op liquid diet which means I'm pretty much going cold turkey

I have the same doctor and am having surgery at Baylor on the 15th. I'm nervous but happy to have it done!

I'm scheduled for the 22nd also! I am half way through the 2 week liquid diet....UGH!!!....No one has said anything about blood thinner shots though...as a matter of fact they told me not to take my daily baby aspirin for this last week before surgery..... I'm getting the revision surgery from lap-band to sleeve...hopefully....My doctor said he will try to do it all in one surgery...fingers crossed!

That's an anti-nausea med. Odd he ordered something that expensive. I'd hope you have ZERO nausea!

That's what I said! After paying $50 for a pill that retails at $130 I better not have any nausea!!

      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

      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... :(
