I am feeling good actually. A lot better than I thought I would. I wouldn't really call it pain more of a discomfort. I sleep a lot of the hour and 45 minute drive home laid back in the seat. I woke up a few times and it was hardly hurting but when i would move or take a sip of Water the discomfort would creep back up. My surgery was at Memorial Hermann SouthEast in Houston...GREAT STAFF.... Very caring, patient, nice and made me feel comfortable at all times. I am at at my parents house now relaxing. Going Going to get up in a few and move around. :)

Glad to hear it went well Sammy. I did ok too but woke up in a lot of pain and discomfort. I've had two "uncomfortable" attacks but made it through. Hubby put heating pad on my stomach and on my back plus taking my pain medicine. It is not as bad now

My surgery was at 8:30 but they probably didn't take me back until 8:45. I was home by noon!

So glad you are doing well. They told me I was a "Go Getter" and doing abnormally well lol. I have a high pain tolerance though. Gonna write my Surgery Day blog entry Wednesday Morning if you would like to see how my full day was. Blog address is in sig. :)

Hi! I had my BOB (band over bypass) open! Since my rny was open the scar tissue made this be open too. I was in the hospital 4 days. I feel like I have bounced back pretty quickly. I am down 22 lbs (including preop liquid). My surgeon doesn't do a fill until February and I feel like I can eat a good amount actually so I am worried I am going up hit a brick wall.

Hi I am doing OK having trouble with tightness with my band even though I dont have any fill. Im having periods where my stomach feels like its sitting in my throat and I start sliming. One night I slimed all night ugh it was gross. So they dont know what to do with me and Im back on mushies. Oh and exercise actually relieves it weird. I am down about 30+ lbs that including preop and I started a couch to 5k last night.

How about you??

I've been doing pretty good. Down 22 lbs. I received my first fill November 27th. It was great the first 3 days but now I feel as though I need another but am not scheduled until January 7. Although I am only down 22 lbs I have lost many inches. I stay in the gym a lot and its something I actually love to do. Looking forward to the green zone LOL glad everything is going well for you!

      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! 😞
