Recommended Posts

okay so i went and did the consult with the surgeon on memorial day, and today i got the phone call saying that yes on june 27th they would approve me for surgery:thumbup: Now im kinda freakin out, we are military and stationed in Schweinfurt Germany. Ive been following close everyones experience at the hospital but i worry about the day for me because of the language barrier and different culture. Im kinda freakin out cause wholly cow what if something goes wrong you know. the hospital is 2 hours away in frankfurt germany and I just can't get their quick. On top of this i have to go on the the 26th and to have the tests done. upper gi, ekg, etc and stay the night because of the distance and have the surgery on the 27th then get released on the 28th and my husband cannot stay with me. German hospital policy, so he will drop me off on thursday and pick me up on saturday:crying: Whlly cow im seriously havintg a panic attack. We also have a lil boy and he needs to be able to stay home and take care of him. geesh okay sorry guys im done ranting now, i will take deep calming breaths and center my chi now:biggrin2:

CONGRATS HUN!!!

i wish you all the best with your surgery, if you are worried about the language barrier couldnt you talk to the hospital to get some reassurance. Ive been over the germany before and i must say they speak better english than what i do (and i live in england)!! lol

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
