My surgeon takes 25-30 minutes to complete the procedure. You are likely under sedation for 10-15 minutes longer.

Thank you all for responding. I was hoping and grateful that I found support with this group. I’m nervous, but anxious to get this tool. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heya everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery June 26th! Seems so close now, especially considering I began the process in February...of 2021. My daughter is my main motivation for getting the surgery. She is 10 and non-verbal autistic. She'll likely never be able to live independently, so I want to make sure I do everything I can to take care of her as long as possible.

I mean, being able to shop in the regular women's section, and fit on rollercoaster and airplane seats will also be nice. But my little girl is my world, and it breaks my heart to think that someday I'll die, and she might not understand what happened, or where I've gone... so I'm doing all I can to make sure that day is a long, long time away.

This is an older picture of her, but one of my favorites, because it really shows her personality. Such a happy kid.

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well.

I had my pre op appt and lab work yesterday, insurance approval letter arrived yesterday as well! I have to get my COVID test tomorrow and then self quarantine till surgery.

Looks like everything is a go for 6/6/22, My surgery is at 7:30 am PST. I'm surprisingly not nervous or having anxiety about the surgery itself. My anxiety is due to after the procedure.

I've done better than I expected myself to do on the full liquid diet, down 12 Lbs down in 11 days. I have to switch to Clear Liquids on Sunday with drinking 28 oz of Gatorade before bedtime and then 24 oz of Gatorade before 5:30 am the day of.

I'm so excited for all of us and to hear about everyone's journey after surgery.

What were your pre op labs ? They just told me and EKG and Chest xray and labs. But didn’t say what specific labs. I’m just curious

It’s good but it’s not “authentic”. It won’t stop the urge for coffee.





Amazon has a pumpkin spice flavor and Walmart.com for a limited time has root beer float!


Thank you🤗.
I saw that Walmart has root beer float. I’m going to order it.

I’m not trying to stop the coffee urge, but coffee ice cream is my favorite flavor so I just like that flavor.

      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
