Did they take your gallbladder out. I had similar pain after, and it was my gallbladder. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

So I'm just over a year from my surgery day. And just under 2 years from when I made the decision to make a life change. In October of 2014 I attended my first class about bariatric surgery. This class is the initial class that helps you decide if it is for you or not.(or to at least go on to the next step) That first day my weight was 422, and I decided to go forward with the bypass. I had to then wait to be assigned to a class, a class that lasts 12 weeks. It tought me everything about the surgery and new life I would be expecting. This class began in January of 2015. Well after completion in March I had lost about 10lbs to 412. Then came the long waiting period. One that they made clear. "Don't call us we will call you!" So I waited, and waited and waited some more. Then got the call the 2nd week of August, 2015. And the wheels got going and fast! Less then two weeks later I was at the hospital on August 24th having surgery. On the day of my surgery I weighed in at 409lbs. The surgery went great. Afterwards I had little to no pain and was up walking immediately. The year has been a great journey. Today I weigh in at 208lbs and feel great. It has been a fantastic journey. I have no regrets and qould do it again without a doubt. I have been around temptation plenty. Several trips to Vegas including a stay for 9 days. I've been to winery's. All the time not touching alcohol and steering cleer of the food that ruined my life.I'm thankful for the tool I was given and plan on using it to the fullest. Best of luck to anyone thinking of having the surgery, and continued success to those who have had this life changing experience. As for me last year I changed my health, this year I change my job.

I had 2nd thoughts big time. I had huge concerns with loosing my love of food. And lots of it. But I have not regretted the surgery one time. 200 lbs and one year later I'm stoked to have had it. Now I'm on the verge if getting a new job and making a huge life chang And now I'm having seconed thoughts about pulling the trigger. Life is full of hurdles and now I'm skinny enough to jump them! Good Luck, and enjoy the new you. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
