piercedqt78 did you go to Romeoville High School? My son is the same age as you. What a small world you also live in Romeoville, I to am a disney lover.lol How long did it take you to loose all of your weight. Soniacan, how far are you from Romeoville? Yes, getting together would be just great. My doctor has said nothing about testing me for a leak, I asked him if it was possible and he said no. But how would he know for sure if he did not take any test. Who did your surgeries. Thank you for writing me back it was nice to hear from someone so close. Yes i would love to get lunch, maybe the three of us could get together since we all live so close?

No I didn't go to Romeoville High. But I work for the district. I also have a child in the district. We moved here almost 2 years ago from Chicago Ridge. I had my surgery with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross, love him. I lost the bulk of my weight the first 18 months. I have about 20 or 25 pounds to go. I'm pretty happy where I am now, so I really don't stress about it. I went from a 22-24 to a size 10-12 now. Sonia and I are meeting for lunch either tomorrow or sunday, what's good for you? ~Mandy

I am using Dr. Lutfi at Mercy hospital in Chicago. They are slower than all get out, but they are taking care of all of the paperwork. Has anyone had experience with him? My surgery is 4/8

My sister just moved to lindenhurst, and I would love to meet people too! Count me in!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
