Hi Geneviève,

Thank you so much to let me posted on Keith's surgery. I'm so happy that everything went well. I'm glad he was one of the patient who were able to stay for the night. Like they say, "Better be safe than sorry. Most of all, you're telling me he is in good spirits and it's one of the main thing.

I sure would be pleased to go for a coffee and maybe answering some questions Keith might have. As you say, we're not staying far from each other.

I'll say it over and over again, I don't regret for a second to say yes for my surgery. For me it's a miracle coming true.

I don't think Keith has any regrets either. I asked him when he woke up from the anesthesia and later on last night and he seemed happy about getting the surgery, no regrets whatsoever. I am happy that he feels that way. It is going to make the transition easier for him and for our family.

I just got off the phone with him, he is tired. He had a semi-private room just in front of the nurse station and he said they were loud all night. He got no sleep at all. I have the feeling he will be sleeping quite a bit when he gets home to peace and quiet. But besides being tired he is feeling well. He has not taken any pain medications yet. He says that the pain isn't bad enough to take anything. (Maybe he is just being stubborn too.. ha!ha!). Well with that being said, I'm going to head down to the hospital and wait with him for Dr. Savoie to make his rounds. I am pretty sure Keith will be posting on here later on today!!!

Bonjour Keith,

Tu n'y vas pas avec le dos de la cuillère . . . déjà 41 livres, SUPER!! Pour ma part j'ai moi aussi perdu 41 livres mais cela m'a pris plus longtemps que toi. Que veux-tu, quand on est une femelle de 50 ans, le "body" ne veut pas toujours faire ce que l'on voudrait. J'ai pour la première fois, bloqué à cause d'un boeuf "Strogonoff" depuis hier midi. J'ai pu mangé ce soir mais j'ai du resté debout sinon cela faisait mal. Il a fallu que je revienne au Boost diabétique pour une journée bien que cela soit encore sensible.

Hi everyone. I was wondering how many times you have to see Dr. Savoie before you get your surgery date. I've had all the blood work done and saw Dr. Savoie back in January. Then I had a follow up with him in early Sept/09. He explained the surgery and said he'd see me again in a month. My next appt is Oct 19/09. Is this when I will go on the boost?

Thanks :)

      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... :(
