I called the doc and erica said that a slippage would be symtoms of not being able to eat or drink. Alot of reflux and alot of gagging just trying to swallow. Thank the Lord I have nothing like that. She told me if I still have the pain mon to call for appt. Load off my mind. Overdid today working cleaning this and that now site hurts pretty bad took a pain pill. I'm relaxing the rest of the evening. How are u coming along?

That's great news. I'm doing well. Getting my second fill today. And I've now lost 40lbs!! So happy to have lost 5 this week after staying the same for three weeks! I've got 4cc in at the moment and still not in the green zone. I'm eating more than a cup three times a day to satisfy my hunger so I definitely need today's fill.

Angemc-sounds like you're on your way. 2nd fill just maybe what you need. I've hadv3 headaches today. Since I'm not really eating...oh well...I get my allergy testing on monday. We'll see then. Glad you're gettung your fill then maybe your losing will be more frequent. Night.

Well I had my second fill today and doc put another 1cc in, bringing me to a total of 6cc's. I was also pleased to see there was nothing wrong with my scales lol and his scales showed a 40lb loss since I started pre-op. I'm very happy to see things finally turning around :)

Thanks Donna450!! :)

You're very welcome. You earned it.

I weighed yesterday and lost 21 lbs so far. My pain is less but something still inflamed. But eating good. Had about 1/2 scrambled egg and a piece of bacon. Having a strawberry banana smoothie for lunch using my pro. Pdr. It all went down good. Small slow bites...I'm learning. Lol

Going to movie this afternoon... I can control myself.....popcorn is not going to derail me. I'm feeling really good and up that even with the little pain I am doing it.

21lbs is fantastic well done! :)

I'm still learning with the small bites, and this last fill is pushing me to get better at it because if I don't bite small and chew well, it gets stuck!!! Up until now I could still eat normally with no problems, but not now !!

Maybe ive asked you before but my memory is not snappy anymore. But where do u live and how old are you? If you don't mind. Hate to be too nosey.

I am 63 mentally disabled since 1996. I've had my bouts with depression, anger, suicide attempts, and at least 3x a full year at a time in a mental ward with lots of weeks inbetween over a 30 year period. I live in hudson fl about an hour north of tampa bay. We, husband of 45 years and one of our grown daughter and 2 g-kids 13& 6 live nearby. Other daughter in pa with her 4 kids. Don't get to see them often in person but skype frequently. We've lived here since 1989. We're retired now can hardly make our ss go month to month but live as well as possible and very happy. Waiting to win the fl powerball....like that'll ever hsppen. Lol

So thats me in at nut (excuse the expression) shell. Lol. I do have bioolar which is what the diagnosed me with. On meds and haven't been in a hospital for about 18 years. Meds work so does forgiveness.

Sorry but do you know who was going to setup possibly monthly checkins for august banders? I'm anxious to learn a little more about each of us since we've shared alot of our problems already along with our successes. We're like a family. And we're on this journey so close together. Anyhow hope whoever brought it up still wants to do it cause I'm in if we try it. Thx.

No I don't mind you asking at all... I'm 36, married with twin 5 year old girls. I live in Australia in Traralgon, which is a lovely suburb about an hour and a half from the city of Melbourne. I'm a kindergarten teacher but not working this school year.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
