Well I was scheduled for surgery today! After checking in and doing everything but being pushed into the OR, my surgery was canceled. I woke up yesterday with poison oak! It was starting to get on my stomach so the doctor just didn't feel comfortable doing it with the risk of infection. He's gone all next week for Christmas so I'm rescheduled for Jan. 3rd. Bummer!

I am so sorry. Are you following any kind of liver shrink diet that will now be extended as well? This all really stinks for you. I'm just glad it's simple like poison oak and not anything really really serious. Good luck!

Look at it as a positive! All things happen for a reason and this is a very major surgery.

The time will past quickly and the 3rd will be here before u know it.

My potassium was significantly low and I was given meds to get it up and if it did not go up I would of had to reschedule. But everything worked out and I was able to go in healthy and nothing to cause major infections.

Yes, I've been on a liquid diet for 2wks! (Lost 12lbs) The doctor told me I could eat this week then on Monday do my liquid diet again until the 3rd.

Hopefully it won't change my out of pocket expense! I've already paid a ton!

That's what the surgeon was concerned about, possible infection. He says this is elective and we don't need anything to go wrong. I agree!

Sadly, I'm pretty sure it will. You will have to meet your deductible again, I'm sure. :(

      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?

      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... :(
