Sorry Hugapug...but it's good that you know what the problem was and are being treated and when it's erradicated you'll be all the more healed and ready to move on with your new tummy. God speed in your healing and may he bless the life ahead of you.

Home from the hospital after a two day stay and a hearty dose of antibiotics. I'm feeling much better; thank you for all of your warm wishes! The funny thing is that the pain was all infection and if it weren't for that, the vgs would have been a pretty smooth ordeal. For those lurkers out there (I'm of the former ranks) it really is true what they say! You very well could have your procedure on a Thursday and be back to work on a Monday. Truly amazing.

Congrats Hugapug and "welcome to the losers bench" as they say! You sound great...I'm amazed at how well your feeling so soon. God bless.

You sound very positive after a bump in your road! Good for you!

and yep - I did exactly that. Surgery on Thursday and work on Monday. I am mainly at a desk so was able to get up and walk when needed. I worked 3-6 hours a day that first week, and full time the 2nd week.

Hope the rest of your experience is smoother! And the scale is no longer an enemy!

      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! 😞
