A few last questions:

1) How do you feel?

2) What has your experience been with the VSG?

3) Anything you would change?

4) What don't you miss?

1. I feel pretty good overall. I am having some gallbladder issues... Currently seeing doctors to figure all if that out. But besides that no issues. I haven't thrown up at all since surgery. My biggest thing is when I eat something I shouldn't (high in fat or sugar) I get diahrhea (sp).

2. My experience has been very good. Besides the gallbladder issue its been very easy. I have had a stall here and there (especially around my period) but that is normal. I also am losing hair... But that is normal as well.

3. If I could change anything I would like to have been more informed by my doctors about gallbladder issues. I did a lot of research and attended all appointments but somehow the gallbladder issue never came up. I am now on actigal but I know a lot of people are prescribed that to take right away... I wish I had it to prevent the gallbladder problems... Not to treat it afterwards like I am.

4. What don't I miss? I don't miss my life revolving around food. Now don't get me wrong... I still think about it a lot and I deal with head hunger A LOT! But my body is never starving. I can do a lot more now that I've lost weight. I feel somewhat more outgoing... I can fit into more chairs. I can lick my toe (I know... Disgusting but I just had to try!). I can clean myself better. I can walk with NO back pain. So many things.

Hope this helps!

Hi' date=' what was your weight at time of surgery?

Great Job![/quote']

My weight was 370. I wasn't required to lose any weight before surgery. The only stipulation was that I couldn't gain any weight before surgery.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
