I just through a knee replacement in March, so I find that the surgery itself is not frightening me. It is the nausea I have heard about. I don't deal well with it. I never have. I will get through it and begin my new life, but the thought of being nauseous is a tough hurdle for me. I guess I'm just not a good "puker". Isn't it strange how different people have different fears?

Yay! So exciting! Please update as soon as you can after surgery!

I nervous the night before. When I went to bed I prayed and gave all my worries to God. I woke up the next morning calm and at peace and felt that way all the way up to the time I fell asleep for surgery! It was a wonderful feeling!:)

I completely understand about the nausea! I am soooo scared to throw up and it doesn't happen very often for me at all, only 2 times in the last 15 years. The good news for me was that I didn't have any nausea whatsoever! I was so thankful for that, I hope that you will be one of the lucky ones like I was!

I was sleeved last Wed. The only time I felt like I was going to throw up was when I had to drink the Barium. I kept saying "I am going to throw up" and the guy said "oh no you are not." I said "how do you know?" He said "because everyone feels like it but no on has ever actually thrown up." I didn't throw up and haven't felt like it since.

I have not had any problems at all. I am convinced that the "attitude" you go into the surgery with is a big factor in determining your outcome after the surgery. I have not had any problems with anything so far. I feel so much better already and even went to church this morning I felt so 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! 😞
