Hi all. I am 9/19/16. Anxious and ready. I am 48 year old and have battled pcos since my mid 20's.

Sw 276

Cw 269 (and not budging)

Goal. To eliminate all diabetes meds and improve my health. And of course want to lose some weight along the way.

My husband is getting sleeved too. He hasn't got his date yet but he is hoping for November.

Still waiting for the final approval from Cigna. But they set my date. Cigna not easy even with the uncontrolled diabetes. High blood pressure. Severe sleep apnea and pcos. First letter of denial because not medically necessity? Crazy! I KNOW it will get approved.

Glad to see some September sleepers out there. Live in and love this site.

would love to have a group of just us to follow in this journey. Convos get lost in the shuffle of these threads. Maybe we can start a private group on Facebook and add one another to it????

A group has been started. It's called sept going down. Look under groups. Lots of ideas and shared stories.

Just got home yesterday from Wednesday surgery; how are you all doing? I think the gas pain was the worst of it! Not much pain today, just a little uncomfortable.

I had my surgery Tuesday and came home Wednesday night. I feel good except pain on left side from the larger incision. My gas pain isn't bad but I still have some. I am doing fairly well on my clear liquid diet and start my Vitamins and full liquid and Protein supplements tomorrow. This is truly not as bad as I had thought. Going to try back to work Monday.

I just got sleeved monday! Everything went well, headed home tuesday. Im on clear dilluted liquid diet, since yesterday ive been more anxious. Last night i dreamed of a hamburger! I need to get my fat me out of my head. The worst part is sleeping comfortably, my large incision it the one giving me more trouble.

Tomorrow I had my first round of Multivitamins and it wasn't fun. I bought ones that are called bari melts! My nausea was so bad i had to go to sleep. Hope tomorrow is better.

You will be fine! The liquid diet is not that bad! At least for me since they let me have yogurts and Soups. Don't get discouraged just think about the . I'm in the stage where i only think what hace i done but everybody tells me its normal.

I saw the group but it says it is for RNY. Is that the only group? Is there a private group for vsg? I hate when my groups show up to other people snooping around my fb. Haha

      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! 😞
