Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Chicagoan! I am scheduled to be banded on Jan 28th at Day One Health. I'd be happy to talk to you anytime about my preparation for surgery and, pretty soon, my recovery! ;-) Good luck with the seminar!

Gosh!! I know you are really excited!

If you don't mind me asking, are you a cash paying customer or is your insurance paying for it? Reason being, it seems that most people who paid for their own surgery had their surgery done immediately. I am going through insurance and I know it's probably going to be about 6 months before my surgery.

Also, do you know which band they will be using? I just received information about the Realize band and they have a great online support site. I'm sure that one probably isn't covered by insurance.

Keep me posted.

Congratulations and Good Luck!:huh2:

      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! 😞
