Hello everyone!

So on Wednesday night i went to the WLS info session after researching and contemplating and being discouraged by 2 PCPs. I got all my paperwork in on the same night and now I have to wait to be called about setting up my 3 appointment. I am SO excited, after 20ish years of every diet, excersize plan and fad I will finally (hopefully) see some real results.

Looking forward to being nosey and hearing all about everyone's journey :)

It's exciting to get started! I go for my testing Monday. Ugh. Labs and all that fun stuff!

Yeah it is very exciting! I went for my initial appointment last Thursday and now I'm waiting for my sleep apnea test to come, started my exercise routine and started watching what I've been eating. Exciting times ahead!

I'm really not looking forward to needles. Lol!! The idea of surgery doesn't scare me too much but blood draws and IVs are my least favorite thing haha

Yeah I am not a fan of that stuff, but it's necessary. I have upper gi, chest X-ray, and abdominal ultrasound. Plus labs. Nothing else was required. I also see a cardiologist before surgery will be scheduled. Hope it all goes smoothly!

Grrrr so the coordinator called me today and I was so excited, thought it was to start scheduling the 3 appointments they require but no, to tell me that they can't do that until my PCP faxes my info over... which they said they did.... and they didnt. Grrr. I'm impatient anyway but this just pisses me off. :/

      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! 😞
