Having surgery on Wednesday, you've given me so much hope for a excellent recovery...

Good luck to you, Mimi!

But more important than luck, please listen to and follow all the directions of your surgeon and surgery coordinator and you will be fine.

I wish I had my VSG surgery sooner, but fear and nervousness kept me from pursuing it.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining the journey with the rest of us! You're going to do FANTASTIC!

Keep us all updated on your progress, and just remember, we can all do this!

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

It will be over before you know it. When I first awakened after surgery I was in a state of shock because I honestly thought the surgeon had somehow pulled out at the last minute and decided not to do the surgery procedure, because I wasn't feeling any kind of pain.

My surgeon actually walked over to me and confirmed that he did indeed do the surgery and everything went very well. I eventually felt a little soreness at the incision sites but that was very bearable.

Of course, I know people sometimes have complications, but what's a safer place to have a complication than an actual hospital.

I believe you're gonna totally ROCK this!:-)

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

      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... :(
