I report to the surgical suite at 7:15am(central time). I have so many emotions...excited, scared, nervous, ready for new me!! This is the beginning of a new me for my family...my husband and my 3 wonderful children. My two oldest know what's going on..they are 12 and 10. My daughter Camdyn told me tonight she is ready for her new skinny mom who will be able to run 5k with her! How sweet she is...she even prayed over me.

Well wish me luck!

It has been three days since my banding and I am having pain in my shoulder, stomach, back, and neck and sides.. I thought the doctor was going to keep me overnight.. I was out of it for almost the entire day.. My husband has been a jerk... He told me to suck it up and stop acting like a few holes in my stomach is causing that much pain.. I have never been so disgusted with him... I wonder why my self esteem is the way it is..

I haven't had any fills done as of yet, but waiting to see huge loss within the next few months... Oh, the pain and no SUPPORT system AT ALL!

Hello Kim,

Thank you for responding!.. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that I am not alone. There is a place to vent my frustration without discussing my marital issues with my parents and neighbors.. This platform is an outlet for me and I Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

      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! 😞
