Hello :) my operation was on 11/14 and I was back to work by the 20th. I'm doing well and had a great recovery. I had some nausea for a few days but it was go e by day 3. My best advice is to walk, walk, and walk immediately following the procedure. Also, be sure to drink Anouilh Water to avoid dehydration. I was sooooo nervous and was boo hoo'ing all the way into the operating room. I woke up with mi iMac pain and couldn't believe that it was done. You'll be great......and congrats

Is it preventing Hair loss and are you able to swallow the small pills?

I started taking Biotin months before the surgery...my hair was thinning way before surgery. I haven't noticed any unusual hair loss but I'm only about 3 weeks post op. My dr told me to continue crushing all pills..until week 6. I'm also using Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo. I read about it on another post and it help with hair loss. The shampoo and conditioner has biotin and caffein in it.

Yes, I was able to work full days with no problems. I'm a middle school teacher so I was able to sit and take breaks throughout the day. I haven't taken a sick days yet.....things have been good!

      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! 😞
