Yaz- make sure your mom brigs something to do, Because shel have a lot of down time while you guys aren't together. Lvnmom- pre-op they take blood, and do an EKG and have u fill out a questionnaire about your health and history. They hook u up to iv fluids and you just wait your turn. I was lucky cuz I went second. Some had to wait a lot longer.

Hey all!!!! So sorry it toll so long to update! The gas pains were awful yesterday and last night. Way better this morning! Just got dressed and waiting to go over to the hotel :-) ill post a pic of pic of my incisions and drain. And I loved it here! Clean and the staff is so helpful and always nice and never annoyed seeming. I called my poor nurse what seemed like a million times lat might and he was nice every time!

No way. LoL hmmm so we wasnt lying hahaha.

I totally agree with you 100% with everything you just said. The first night was aweful because of the gas pain. On your 3rd day its gonna be so much better. Like a new person. Atleast thats how I felt once that thing was out my abdomen

      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... :(
