That is so awesome. I hope I am in the same boat. Impressive weight loss too! I never had c-sections so... yeah. But good to hear. Makes me a LOT more comfortable.

The first month I lost 23 pounds. I lost almost all of the rest by November. I always thought a stall was a day or two it is not. I stalled out most of the winter and have only lost a few pounds. Im still losing inches though. Make sure you measure everywhere today because it will be help you keep your sanity later when pounds dont seem to be coming off on the scale. Sometimes the pounds dont come off because your gaining muscle or other reasons and it is very frustrating especially when your doing everything right. Thats why I got rid of my scale in February and I am much happier. I went to doctors in early March so I know Im losing again. I measure my Upper Arm, Thigh, Calf, Butt, Hips, Waist, Upper Belly, Lower Belly and Bust. I measure every Tuesday. I have lost 13 inches just on my waist. Over 11 inches on my butt, lower and upper belly. Over 8 inches on my thigh. Thats just one thigh and over 7 on my bust. That keeps me very motivated when the scale isnt budging.

Hmmm.... yeah. I was in a decent amount of pain. Not the "worst pain ever" but a good 7/10. I don't know how anyone experienced no pain, but.... anyway, that was not my experience. LOL Thanks.

Sounds like the same amount of pain I was in with this surgery and with the same Dr. I does get better in time and for me pain meds didn't do anything to help but in a couple days it does get better.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
