Me! I'm in the ER because my steri strips are lifting that covers my port. So I freaked out because the incision is opening just a little. So they are putting new steri strips on & sending me on my way. Lol!

I LOVE your title to this!! Opening incisions can be scary though. About 4 hours after I had my gallbladder removed, I came home and threw up. All of the sudden, walking out of the bathroom, I realized my shirt was wet. Looked down, blood EVERYWHERE! One of the incisions opened and I nearly screamed. My husband noticed right when I did and calmly got gauze so I could hold pressure and put a call into my surgeon. I was SO groggy, the surgeon said to hold constant pressure for 10 minutes, I kept falling asleep! He had to hold his hand over mine to keep it in place. If I would have been more alert, I probably could have been competition for you're Emmy category :)

Hope they get you all patched up and on your way soon!!

      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.

        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?

      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... :(
