Just home after surgery

Boy do I hurt!

Thanks Penni for making my pictures smaller.

Doc said he had an easy time of doing the surgery. He could have fooled me! I stayed over night because my potasium level was low. This can only get better. Please Please Please!

I'm 5 days out and today is my best day yet. My abdomen is still really sore but otherwise things are getting better.

Good luck to you!

Yeah for Sandy....I'm jealous...still waiting on my surgery date!! Don't worry the pain should go away in a couple of days, if it's anything like the other surgeries I've had for other stuff the Gas sucks the worst and when that's gone it's such a relief that the rest doesn't even bother you!!

Congratulations on getting your band! As everyone has said, it really does get better! The gas was the worst for me, too, but it got much better after about the 4th or 5th day. Just hang in there~

Congrats on the surgery.

Things will get a little easier each day. I was already sleeping on my tummy 3 weeks post-op. It's amazing how fast your body heals.

Welcome to the losing side!

      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! 😞
