I made it!

I'm officially banded! Just home today. In some pain but not too-too bad. I had my barium swallow test this morning and saw my band it was kind of cool. Hard to get in so much Fluid because you don't feel like drinking anything. Slowly but surely. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats! That is so exciting! One week from today is my turn! Veteran's Day, here I come!

Pre-op diet is stinkin' today. My family is eating food that smells soooooo good! Oh well, it will be worth it. I am just sort of hiding in the bedroom watching the election and surfing the web.

It just made me smile to see you quote today. I am so happy for you. I am not banded yet, but looking at January with great hope. I change insurances in a few days,,,,to make this happen.

Good luck to u!

I've been on a pre-op diet for the past 11 days. Pre-op was supposed to be for 14 days, but my surgery was moved up. The nurse said it would be fine, and I was glad to go early!

      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! 😞
