I made it out of surgery OK. Everyone is really nice here. We waited for two hours at the airport for our ride, so be mentally prepared just in case. No leak on my first leak test yeah! Going to get some ice here in a minute.

A lady here said she had money stolen when she went for her leak test, so be careful with your stuff. She seems happy now though, so maybe the hospital worked something out or maybe she found it. I'm making my friend take my backpack every time she leaves. It has all our electronics and iIDs and passports.

I had a lot of pain in my shoulder yesterday, but its not so bad today. Best of luck to you. See you Thursday.

Wow I'm here too I haven't seem you. Dr Garcia is amazing. I have never seen a doctor more loving and caring than him. He hugged me and my best friend who also had surgery with me on the 5th when he saw us walking on the hallway. I would never want to go anywhere else. I too had lots of shoulder n gas pain but other than that I am fine.

I'm in room 305. I have ventured up to the 4th floor twice to see Barbara in room 401. My friend keeps going up to make her walk. Which floor are you on?

They said we would be going to the hotel early in the morning, but they didn't say if that was US early or Mexican early. They are very laid back here, so sometimes when they say 8 they really mean 11 or 12.

      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! 😞
