Surgery Tomorrow 2/6



Recommended Posts

Hi all :)

I am finally having surgery tomorrow! I was originally scheduled for 1/29 and then had to get postponed because of a UTI.

Long story short, I never had the UTI. The lab contaminated my specimen and I was forced to retest and everything was perfect. So glad my doctor was able to squeeze me in!

I have lost 22 lbs on my preop diet since I wound up on it for an xtra week with the UTI nonesense.

Anyone else being banded tomorrow?

I am nervous for surgery but cant wait to be on the other side!

I did it!

I am officially banded! :)

I gotta say though this gas pain in my shoulders is horrible! I have my gas x and heating pad thanks to the tips I picked up on here but, boy does it hurt! How long does the gas take to go away? I am getting up and walking a lot as I know that helps too.

They also found a hiatal hernia when they did the surgery and repaired that as well.

      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! 😞
