I am also scheduled for El Cinco de mayo. My pre-op is the 30th and the nervous excitement is already kicking in. I hope we all keep up with each other's progress and encourage when needed.

Hi Allison, My surgery date is May 12th and I start my preop diet May 2nd. I am very excited about my surgery. Until I found this website I was very nervous and doubtful, but after connecting with the folks here I am so uplifted and ready to do this. I also wanted to tell you that I love the area where you live. I am an RN and did some travel nursing in Cape Cod in the fall of 2002. I still have wonder memories of the time I spent there. I worked in surgery at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyanis and I lived in Hyanis Port. I always had 3 day weekends so I went all over New England. I went back in 2005 and stayed on Nantucket for a week and then revisted some of the places I loved. I loved Boston for all the culture and history. Well, good luck on your journey. Becky

Thanks Becky! Yeah I love living here, its perfect, right near the cape, right near Providence and Boston, 4 hours to NYC, about an hour to the mountains, everythings right here! Where do you love now??? Nantucket is beautiful but I haven't been there in years! My friends and I want to take the ferry to either of the islands this summer.

Hi Allison, I live in Chico Calif and have worked in the local hospital for many years. I took a little time off and did travel nursing and just fell in love with Cape Cod. I think I left a little piece of my heart there. I've been to both Nantucket and Martha's Vinyard and enjoyed both of them very much. There is a great book called Ahabs Daughter that takes place on Nantucket in the 1800's which if fun to read. I couldn't find that May thread you were talking about. I am still kind of new to the website and don't know my way around it too well. But lets keep in touch since our surgeries are so close. Well, I am off to work. Bye, Becky

Can't believe my banding date is almost here - FRIDAY!!!!

Can't wait for it to be over...can't sleep, clean house, work, or focus on anything else except what's ahead....a new me. Yeah!!!

      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... :(
