Just click on any of the weight tickers and it will send you to their web site from there design your ticker copy and paste the code to your signature that you can find in the upper left hand corner of your screen under "user CP" Good luck..

CONGRATULATIONS! and that goes to all new banders!

They sent you home that quickly? Were you expecting to stay overnight? My surgeon told me I will be staying 1 night to be monitored.

Are you on pain medication right now? Are the incisions scary looking? (i don't care about having scars but I am afraid of taking care of incisions- yikes).

Please let us know how its going!

No I wasn't expecting to stay. They said it would be an outpatient thing I was just surprised that I got out so quickly.

The only thing I've taken for pain is just liquid Motrin. My incisions well the ones I can see don't look bad. I have 5 total but 2 of them were still bleeding a little so they have pressure dressings on them. I get to take them off tomorrow and take a shower.

I got there at 6. They took me to the OR at 7 am and by 10am I was asking to go home:)

Wow...that's impressive! You must be one tough cookie! We're excited to see how the rest of your journey goes! :-)

5 incisions? Oh my, I thought it was only 4. But I am so happy (and jealous) for all of you. Speedy recovery to you all!

I knew I was staying over the night, so I had my bag packed and ready to go. I have liquid perocet, but I only took it the 1st day home. My incisions aren't bad, my son is scared a little of them (he's 3) but other than that. I'm just waiting for this gas to go away and I'll feel much better!

      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... :(
