Anticipating August surgery date! Would love to have FB support if can?



Recommended Posts

Hi all....my last visit was on Friday 7/8/16...jst waiting on PCP to send in his "Support Letter" (which the nurse sd by this Friday 7/15) & then Midwest Bariatrics (of Neenah, WI) will submit everything for approval (I don't foresee a problem at all)....

I asked how long after approval do they usually schedule surgery .... She said only two weeks!! ....yaaaay! I asked if there was a preop liquid diet.... She said no just continue to eat how you're eating your liver should be small enough.... So I anticipate an August date!! I can't wait ...so it seems more real!!!

I do have a FB That I specifically made for bariatric support.... And I would love anyone who wants to add me to feel free!! Especially anyone who has surgery in August!! Obviously I would love to have people who have been through it (to answer any questions)... Also anyone who is anticipating it (who has any questions)....plz let me know if you want to add me!! Thank you for your time & support!!!

      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! 😞
