I asked about covid-19 testing before surgery and was told it's not done in VA, unless you suspect you've been exposed. I've been social distancing, and wearing a mask, so I have no reason think I've got it, but still was disappointed.

My first covid test felt like it was nothing so I guess she probably did it wrong and my second one felt like someone shoved a stick to my brain, nose felt funny for the rest of the day. I have to do another test on monday...I'm a introvert with ocd and shops online, why must they do this to me!

Hopefully, Monday's test will come back negative. I'm also an introvert, rarely going out, if I can help it. Visiting the Bariatric Clinic feels like socializing.

I had 2... both were in my car. The first lady gave me these instructions: You can either hold on to the steering wheel or sit on your hands... I chose to sit on my hands... Then she said turn to me and tilt your head back and keep looking at the roof. No matter what you do, DON'T GRAB MY HAND. I was so glad i chose to sit on my hands because my first instinct was to grab her hand... hehe.... she took this (what looked like 12") qtip and put it up one side of my nose. It felt like she was coming out my a$$ , then did the other side.... uhgggggg....

Second time in the car also, different medical office, she only did one side and i found much more gentle.

Both test were negative. the first test was because my husband tested positive... so my work required i have one. then another at the end of 2 weeks so i could come back to work.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
