Wish you all the best! Just had my done last week and I feel great - as if nothing happened. Just be prepared for a little pain when you wake up from the anesthesia - or hopefully you won't go through that. Take care ????

When u read this is hope everything went well. Your first days might not be what u expected. Some do very well and have not much pain. Others have a rough couple of days. At first i felt great when i was at the clinic but as soon as i got home i felt nauseas. I kept telling myself i hate this, but now 7 days post op i feel great. No nausea or pain. Best thing i ever did. I even feel embarrased for being such baby but then again its ok. We are aloud to act like that after surgery. Reading this forum on other peoples experiences really help. Good luck

Well a little ober 24 hours and i feel a lot better than what i did yesterday. I didn't feel like talking or texting anyone, i had my mom and a friend come by and i was so drained and in pain that talking made me hurt. I also had a hernia where my esophagus and stomach met so my doctor noticed that during surgery and stitched it up, that also added a lot to my pain. Today I'm doing much better, I'm walking, talking and also just had my lunch..cherry sugar free Jello and chicken broth..yummy. thanks everyone for the well wishes i really appreciate it!! Oh one more thing when i first arrived yesterday i weighed 248 today i weighed 257.. one week ago before i started my preop diet i weighed 259...

      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... :(
