I started this journey 6 months ago. About 2 months ago the Dr told me he would not operate on me because my A1C was 9.8, he said if I manage to get it down to a 8 he will proceed with the operation. I actually told myself I can do this without the surgery so I got on a diet and lost 20lbs and was feeling so much better. The Dr office kept callling me and I kept ignoring it. My PCM sent me for blood work and my A1C came back as 7.9 lol. This was fwd to the Dr and now I was pushed over to scheduling, currently waiting for them to call me with a surgery date.

I realized maybe I should just go ahead with this. I already started to eat right, got my mind in the right place and if I kept with this diet it was only a matter of time until I mess up and gained it all back as always. The fear of the unknown is what made me back out amongst other things but if this can help with my PCOS and type2 diabetes like my Dr told me then I don't see why I keep trying to back out..i just don't want to end up regretting it.

Do what works for you, deep down you have to think and pick the right decision for you! I've had PCOS for almost 10 years now. I'm getting the surgery because I'm sick of working so hard just to step on the scale and not see results, I'm ready for the help and I'm ready to work hard to succeed but I'm accepting that I need help and know that PCOS will clear up. Wish you the best!!

My surgery was in Monday 4.17.17. I am currently home recovering. So yeah I went through with it even though as they rolled me into the operating table I was a nervous wreck. But now I think I made the right choice for my health.

      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?

      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! 😞
