Where are you having it done? I went to Lone Peak Surgery Center and was in and out in the same day.

Hang in there! I bet you're gonna drop like 20 lbs in a week any day now [emoji1417]

Bottom line work with your team and your doing great! Just focus on the program and what they say to do. I thought the exact same thing and in a year lost 120 lbs. Smoothies work for me but maybe not others. Diversity makes the world go round. Record: I ate meat before surgery and loved it. Afterwards, my body fights back on meat and dairy. I listen to body.

Very good article. Thanks for sharing, njgal. I hope he's doing well now that some extra years have passed.

the duodenal switch is sometimes done as two surgeries, so that's not too unusual. Odd he wants to wait five years between them, though. as far as losing weight, some surgeons have a BMI limit (for example, they won't operate on people with a BMI over 60 - or over 70 - or whatever). On someone with a really high BMI, the surgery is riskier, and some surgeons don't want to take the risk. So you'll either have to lose the weight, or find a surgeon who operates on people with high BMI's.

SOME OF THESE COMMENTS UNDER THESE THREADS ARE CRAZY ... EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE WITH SURGERY IS DIFFERENT HOW CAN YOU BASH SOMEONE FOR FEELING HOW THEY FEEL??????!!!!!!! ONE THING I DO KNOW IS THAT AFTER I GET MY SURGERY AND I EXPRESS HOW IM FEELING AND YOU COME FOR ME IN A NEGATIVE WAY IM GONNA LET YOU HAVE IT AND THEN IM GONNA BLOCK YOU.....

Yeah!! So happy for U. Im getting sleeved in 7 days. See U on other side ; )
