Update!!!!!!

Surgery went well I had a hiatal hernia repaired which I'm not surprised about because of the work that I do..I went into surgery around 8:30am and was in my room round 11ish. My mom and sister went with and the rest of the family came later on..my ex boyfriend even came to see me which I thought was sweet. I was having alot of soreness yesterday. But I got up several times to use the bathroom and go for a walk. I slept last night for a few hours but woke up this morning at 5am to pain in the belly button incision. The doctor changed my dressing and gave me some more Dilaudid :-)..so I'm just updating everyone now. I have to do my barium swallow test at 9am and if that goes well I can go home as soon as my parents get off work :-)

Don't be surprised if you have some pain after you get home in your chest area. Having the hernia repaired adds some pain. I had this done and my doctor told me I would experience a little more pain. Nothing to major! So happy you are on your way to a new you.

Good Luck.

I feel okay. I'm pretty sore when I get up or sit down. It doesn't hurt to bad as long as I sit still. I have zero appetite. I do feel pretty exhausted though. I have taken one pain pill since noon yesterday. As soon as I get this Protein shake down I am taking another one and hopefully take a nap. :)

Thanks for ur input makes us the pre-banders excited and can't wait!

I think the only thing I'm afraid is hair loss, and going to the OR before going to sleep! (yikes)

      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... :(
