Congratulations. I am so glad it went well. I still have about 2 1/2 weeks until my sleeve. Can you tell me anything about the pain level although I know we all have different levels of pain tolerance. Hope your day goes well! Blessings to you and good luck on your new journey!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are doing well emotionally and physically. No pain meds is wonderful because I heard there was some aspect of discomfort at different levels. I have finished everything, now waiting on phone call from surgeon staff to set appt. to set date. Was the week before surgery on the clear liquid diet hard? Also, did you get a medical alert Bracelet? I was told the one thing to be sure of is, if an event of a car wreck (example) that u cannot be tubed due to the size of your stomach and could puncture it. Was this a concern of yours? I've really thought of this and cpr and other medical emergencies. I was just wondering if maybe your dr. discussed this with you. I can't find anywhere on this forum where its mentioned. I'm going to have my sleeve done but would like to know from someone if they know any of these answers. I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have started off great. I hope it just gets better and better as time goes on. I sure hope mine hours as well as yours.

Great to hear the successes. Heading into surgery in 2 hours. I can't believe the time is here. Looking forward to getting me back.

      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! 😞
