9 days for me!! I'm so excited! I'd recommend chapstick (only because others have told me) If you are out patient like me then I just needed the basics until I got home! Best wishes to you! July band buddy!

If you are large chested I recommend a sports bra. I have heard some docs rec against them but mine was fine with it so long as the band didn't press on any incisions. Without it, one of my breasts was pressing on an incision and causing lots of discomfort. The bra helped a lot.

I gave very comfy underwire bras, are they a no-no? just wondering if I need to buy a sports bra.

      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! 😞
