The hernia repair you feel in your back ( per dr) so if I overdid it I felt it right away. Had to wait longer to start exercising and lifting too.

5 so far from my gallbladder surgery. I'm now scheduled for lapband and hernia repair. Did anyone vomit violently after surgery? I really feel like the vomiting affected my quick healing from the gallbladder removal..but I'm thinking I just had a reaction to the anesthesia..I'm wondering if I can ask the anesthesiologist to use something else...not sure its even a request I can make.. Any thoughts?

They give you a lot of meds before and after for nausea because you absolutely cannot vomit. Too many complications. I only had nausea 3rd day out when I woke up. I took the meds and then I was fine.

      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! 😞
