Hey guys, sorry took so long to long in. the surgery went very well. Just had one complication. One part of my stomach lining was will thick. Other than that no problems, I was out in about 2 hrs. The last thing I remeber is getting rolled out of the pre op area and nothing else after that. When I got rolled into the room, I was not in pain from the surgery but more from the air they put inside your stomach. I got to go home the next day, I was a little sore but did not have to take the pain meds for the pain. I did take the liquid medication to just help me sleep a little.

If your are thinking about getting the surgery, DO IT! I am the biggest baby and I came out just fine. I was so impressed with Dr. Boghossian, I am going to ask him if I may volunteer speak at the upcoming meetings for people thinking about getting the surgery. Thanks again for all the support and now it my turn to return the favor!

Respectfully,

Joe Lopez

      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! 😞
