I had my surgery May 30,2012. It all happened so quick. I went in may 9 for my consultation, did all my classes then went in ford surgery on the 30. The hospital stay wasnt bad. Once they remove the IV and make you eat were I struggled. I did not pay attention in the nutrition classes. I figured I could do all that at home. The hospital I stayed in orange coast memorial was amazing the nutritionist came in and went over things with me. I went home Friday morning. I have bad acid reflex but the more I walk the better it gets. I've noticed the more I walk the more the negative symptoms go away. (: I have not lost any weight but i'm sure I will. I weighted in 234 at surgery. I will keep you posted.

Keep me posted - I go in tomorrow and am about the same starting weight as you. I hope to be under 200 by October!

My husband and I had it done on Friday. We are out of the hospital today and feeling great, I don't feel I've lost anything but this is the beginning of the process. I'm getting acid reflex and my husband is not. I was getting worried but I'm now glad to know that walking will make it better. Good luck to you!

I was sleeved on May 29th - went home on the 31st, was off the pain meds on the 31st. I've been very active, actually. scales vary, but it looks like I've lost about 17 pounds so far. Going in to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully will get this drain out, and get a more accurate wait.

      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! 😞
