Had Surgery Today



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to let everyone know that all is well. Had surgery today at Florham Park Surgery Center with Dr Alexander Abkin. Went in at 7 for prep. Was in OR at 9 am and out by 10am. Feeling like normal so far. I opted for the tab block medication. Those darn needles were long LOL. Dr prescribed percocet for pain if needed. I have four incisions and got the realize band. Nurses and doctors were very nice. Finally I am on the other side :-)

Sorry I meant to say tap block meds. Also reason why I didnt go into OR soon is because someone else's surgery took longer than expected.

Congratulations!!! My surgery time was around 2pm and I was taken in the OR at 7pm. The person before me (Sleeve) had complications.

Relax and enjoy your new journey.

      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! 😞
