Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day. I am preparing for tomorrow. butterflies. I am the first in my family and so this is uncharted waters. I will be up getting ready at 3:30am to go to the hospital. Praying for a quick release those around me are falling apart. You know women take care of everybody and it gets hard to fight for the time to make your life better.

I was banded june 1st.... Good luck to u! Make sure u have ur gas-x medicine as it will help tremendously with the gas pain. Walk even when u dont feel like u can, it will also make things easier. Do Not rush ur healing! Take this time for u to get better. I did, and was down for extra days. Allow the ones u take care of on a daily basis to take care of u..:o) everyone heals at a differant rate...good luck!

Had the surgery this morning at 7:30, doing pretty well. Have been up walking a few times, the Percocet helps the pain a lot. I do have gas pains in my shoulder though, any suggestions?

Where did you have it done? I'm at Beth Israel in Boston,MA. I guess all drs are different. I'm not too impressed with the hospital at this moment, they asked me to bring my cpap machine and here it is 10:30 and respiratory hasn't even hooked it up yet.

I'm afraid that I have an infection by the port. It's only been 5 days since my surgery and the steri strips are still on. My skin is pink around the area. My fiancé thinks its an allergic reaction to the tape that was used. Has anyone else had this problem?

      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!!

      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! 😞
