Just got out of surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my conversion procedure yesterday! I was first banded in May 2007 and had a lot of success... 100 lbs loss. Unfortunately 3.5 years later, my band eroded and I had to have it taken out last December. My surgeon and I agreed to wait a few months to all the band area to heal before doing my GPS. We agreed this was the best choice for me, as it's likely a second band would also, but I have really missed the feeling of early satisfaction and level of control over food that my band helped me attain.

I am so excited to be restricted again!

I feel very fortunate to have found a GPS surgeon in my area who could offer me a "replacement" to my band that didn't involve removing any of my parts!

Thanks everybody! I'm feeling pretty good, but I tire easily. Easy to remedy that with naps. I actually felt good enough 1 day post-op to go to our support group. I wish you all could have seen the other group members faces!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
