What a journey have I had. I was in the waiting room for my surgery. So while I was there I was having the poohs from the milk of magnesia. So as I was lying in bed I was squirming and thinking I was having a panic attack and started crying and telling my partner and his mom that I changed my mind that I didn't want it ! So I was like take me out I don't want this anymore! And then I was like let me to to the bathroom!!! So I end up going to the bathroom and I calmed down immensely. So then my parents come in and talked to me. So I ended up laying back down and bam I got the surgery. So the next two days were hell! Being awaken like fifteen times during the night and what not. I could not pass gas for the life of me! And it was painful! So finally I tooted twice today and was sent home. Went I got home my partner helped me undress for a shower and bam there's a huge bruise on my calf. So I called the hospital and they ask if I feel like crap and short of breath I say no I feel awesome. So it might of happened during the surgery?? So now I'm at home drinking Water every 15 mins plus walking for a min. It's tiring.

Omg I did the same exact thing. I was sleeved on 10/25 and when I was in preop I started crying

After the nurse or maybe a tech said you getting sleeved. So I starting crying and ask myself was I doing the right thing. Then I calm down and my doctor came in after my sister chatted with me and said you will be fine.

I hope and believe I made the right choice. I can't get enough fluids in. All the Protein or nasty maybe because it remind me of milk and Im lactose intolerance. Doctor said my tongue was white and I need to drink so other than that I will survive. I'm happy I went through with it but I just need liquids.

I was sleeved 10/31 and just got home today with the worst gas pains and I have this sore on my mouth that wasn't there before surgery...nurse says its a canker sore from stress but I don't think so. I'm going to try gas x and pray that helps with the pains. Cannot pass gas either and I've been walkin with no relief. I felt like I was making a mistake also but I believe we made the right choice. :)

I was sleeved on 10/31/2012 and I understand how everyone feels this has been difficult. Gas, nausea, bad day

I was sleeved 10/31 also. Today has been the first day that I haven't questioned if I did the right thing. I had terrible dry heaves. Still struggling to get enough liquids in but hope the worst is behind me. Keep your head up. Everyone keeps saying each day gets better and that's what I'm hanging on too.

      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.

      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! 😞
