I am I am!!!! I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet and doing ok on it. I have my pre-op testing on Monday and then Tuesday is the big day!! I am anxiously awaiting, yet cautiously nervous about it all. I know this is the best thing I can do for myself and my health and in the end, it'll all be worth it.

Great to meet you and good luck!!

I was just banded on 11/09/07.

I have never been in the hospital before so it all has been a real shocker.

Some advice (if you want it):

1) Don't step on the scale post-op for probably a week (gained 7 of my 9 pre op pounds back). It will go away though...

2) Be patient. There are varying amounts of pain/discomfort. Apparently I am a big wuss, so it has not been a great two day for me.

3) Remember that it gets better every day.

Good luck....

      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! 😞
