I had my surgery last Tuesday and mine are still holding strong. Even the one right under my bra (leave it to a man to put an incision right there!).

I am 11 days post-op and I peeled all of mine off today because they were barely on, except for my biggest incision. I am not touching that one because it is still tender.

I am a nurse. We tell our post op patients that the steri steps usually fall off about 7-10 days. My surgeon took them off on day 5. Way to early. The incisions are so tender still..

      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! 😞
