First Bareatric Doctors appt.

I don't have any advice yet, as my first appointment with my Surgeon isn't until the 6th of February. I know how you feel though I've been researching Gastric Sleeve surgery for the last year or so and finally made the decision that it was what I needed about 3 weeks ago. I contacted my Dr and surgeon, they contacted my insurance and everything since then has been going super fast. I fly down to Seattle next Friday for my consultation. The day after I get back I have an appointment with my PCP the first of 3 that I need to complete for insurance's 3 month weight observation. Then I'll be flying back down to Seattle for surgery Mid-May. The only thing I can say is good luck and I hope everything works out for you, try not to over think it to much. "What will be, will be" ;)

      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! 😞
