Two days post op and in having terrible pain at my drain site. My incisions are starting to hurt a little but as well. Can't wait for Dr. Luna to remove the drain today. Hopefully that stops the pain. On top of that I barely got any sleep. Guess I won't truly recover til I'm home in my own bed.

Sade, I hope you are feeling better. I really liked Dr. Luna and the rest of the staff. Be sure to let them know if you have problems. All the best to you.

Sade326, I'm sorry to hear that you are having pain. Maybe Dr. Luna will prescribe something to help with that.

 

I hope that you will rest better at the hotel, where it will be much quieter and the bed should be softer!

I'm feeling great good luck on ur date you'll do fine. I wasn't even nervous I had one little spell but because I watched a video of how the procedure was done right before surgery. But within a few minutes that spell was over. Lol.

So glad to hear you're ok. My day is fast approaching. I'm nervous as he&$ and just ready to get it over with already. Preop diet is slowly coming along,(slowly meaning I've snuck a bite of candy here spoon of rice crispies there while the kids were eating :(. ) I'm really to nervous to eat though. The day before the diet started I ate everything in site out of pure nervousness. Oh well, soon I will be where you are. Did you have to take off from work? How long will you be home for?

You'll do fine. Just leave it in God's hands and you'll have nothing to worry about. I did take off work I will be out for total of 33 days. For the sake of taking advantage of my benefits. Lol

I feel like Im loosing my ever flippen mind!! My surgery is in 15 days... I am stalking the mess out of this forum!

Will I have a leak?

Will I get dehydrated?

Will this really work for me?

Will someone kidnap my fat ass in Mexico?

Have I lost my mind?

Will some other tragedy fall upon me before I get it done?

Is this really going to happen?

Will I go bald?

What am I going to tell people?

      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!!

      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... :(
