OMG, you are coming to the West Coast!!!! Woohoo! Is OCC in Mexico?? And....we are going to be only one day apart! That is so exciting!

Yes, I'm going to the West coast from the East coast. :frown: And yes, I'm going to go to the OCC which is in Mexico. I'm also supposed to be traveling the following week to LA to see my sister. So it will be another East coast to West coast trip the very next weekend. That worries me a little bit. I just don't know what to expect.

So yes, one day from yours! Are you getting ready? What are you doing to prepare? Love your glitter tag!

I don't know the time yet - I go in for my pre op on thursday, 19 Feb. I will have to spend the night in Tucson on the 15 of Mar - we live about 2 hours away. I am hoping for an early time - just so I don't miss my coffee so much! I hope I am one of those people who do well after surgery - I am a teacher and I having surgery the first day of my spring break - so I will have a whole week to get use to the band and get back on my feet.

Why is you surgery so late in the day?

I don't know why my surgery is so late in the day. It would be nice to get it over with early in the day.

I'm sure the hospital will charge me for a whole day instead of a half day... don't you think?

I'll be melting in March too! I'm thrilled to be finally approved by BC/BS of Florida. It was a looong process, but will be worth every minute of it. Surgery date is March 9th.

March 13 for me, Friday the 13th if I'm not mistaken. Almost exactly one year from seminar to surgery.

Ditto for me! How coincidental. I think we also have a group discussion going on in the groups section.

I am in, I am in!!!! WOO HOO!

Wickedme your surgery date is my b-day!!! I'm only 3 days behind you (a late b-day gift for me). I'm so excited! Have you started your pre-op diet? I'm starting mine Monday (hopefully the last time I ever say I'm starting a diet on Monday). Anyone else here getting banded by dr. Garth Davis in houston, Texas. Or has anyone else heard of him?? Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!! :thumbup:

      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... :(
