I had my surgery 1.5 years ago and the results have been what I was hoping for. I can't honestly say that they exceeded my expectations only because my expectations were so high based on my research before the surgery but I can say that the results have been simply amazing and has changed my entire life around.

As you can see from the before and after pictures my appearance is so different as to be almost unrecognizable. I have a girlfriend and we are in a serous relationship. I met her at a New Years Eve dance party that I never would have attended before the surgery and we danced most of the night. I have been able to lower or go off of many of my medications and my overall feeling of well being is off the charts.

My confidence is high and I can't help notice that woman look at me and smile and chat with me at the elevators in my office building a lot more now than before. It's small things like this that really make me see how positive the weight loss has been.

      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! 😞
