Guys,

My first weight loss surgery seminar post-309763-14834621830624_thumb.jpgis going to be on Jan. 10 2017. It's actually at the hospital I work for. I am Neonatal RN. I have been thinking about this surgery for a while now and come to find out the hospital I work for does it and covers it 100% for all employees if qualified of course.

However, I am a little nervous and apprehensive. i just wanted to know what to expect and if you guys have any tips or suggestions. Also if you would like to share any experiences of your first weight loss seminar. Please feel free. Thanks.

Hi! My I attended my first seminar in July 2016..It was super informative and my surgeon held a QandA session afterwards.. It was what helped me make the final decision to have surgery.

My seminar was on the exact same date. I had done so much research that I didn't hear anything new. Meeting the surgeon and his staff was great as they were all very nice! Made me feel very comfortable. The surgeon was very down to earth and super friendly. Good luck on your journey! Read as much about it as you can and watch people who have had it on YouTube, the good and the bad. Knowledge is power. God Bless!

      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?

      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! 😞
