Hi Nahyeera,

I searched for the right hospital and have fallen in love with Memorial Hospital in Miramar. They have the best service. I have been there for the seminar, ultrasound, and upper GI in preparation for my surgery. The service is the best. I am having surgery with Dr. Choi. He is really nice and his staff is great. My entire process took 4 weeks. I have been struggling with my weight for 10 years. I am ready to get rid of it once and for all. I am nausea and am sick to my stomach and I am just on the clear liquid diet. Your mind maybe ready, but your body might have a different say, so be prepared. Good luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
