Hello,

Got the call and insurance company has approved my surgery.

I will for sure be getting sleeved one week from today.

Now I am scared out of my mind.

Well, its very normal to be a bit freaked out when that call comes ... it makes it a reality that this can truly happen. But focus on the enormous health benefits this surgery will yield and how much better you will feel with less weight. That is what got me through the 2 weeks pre op, the night before op, and now 3-days post op. It is a challenging and at times scary journey but I believe will be well worth it in the end. Read some of the success stores on this Board. That was able sustain me as well. Good luck to you!

I had to do a three week liver shrink diet.
I am two weeks in and one more week to go.
I am excited, scared, nervous, and all that.
I just want to feel good again.

Im 3 days out too. Not too concerned about my weight at the moment but at the fact that I need to heal properly. The only thing I struggled with is the pain. Had to be re-admitted yesterday and was advised after cat scan all is well then released with a stronger med than Tylenol!!! Also trying to find a system to get all of the liquids and Vitamins in daily!

      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! 😞
