I am officially banded now! I cant wait to get this show on the road! And also to feel better, I have a pretty high pain tolerance. But the gas pains, especially in my back are no joke...ouch!! :/

It gets better, so stay positive. A couple of days ago, I couldn't imagine ever feeling well again. Today, I feel pretty good. I was banded 8 days ago. Congratulations!

It gets better very quickly... I am three weeks today and I wouldn't know I ever had the surgery if I didn't look at the silly lines all over my belly! Best wishes, take it slow and follow the dr's orders.... Hope your recovery is smooth and quick!

Congrats! Walk a little at a time as often as you can. I got up and walked around my dining room table the first couple days. You will feel better soon.

      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! 😞
