Oh, girlfriend.....hang on! It may take 30 min, it could take longer, but once it kicks in, it will not stop for hours. I started mine about 11 a.m. and it finally stopped right about bedtime. I didn't have any issues the next morning.

I did this exactly one week ago with surgery on Friday at noon. I pray you have a wonderful nursing staff to take care of you, that your surgeon is as good as mine is, that they give you several small stitches to help alleviate scaring, and you are made as comfortable post-op as I was. Keep us posted on how it's going......GOOD LUCK!!!

I made thanksgiving dinner and am having a nice holiday with my kids and husband. My bag is packed and house is clean, I need to do a few dishes but other than that I am ready. So, I am just relaxing and getting a black Friday shopping list together for my husband! ;)

Miss Michi....my surgeon used staples inside (to close the sleeve) and stitches were used to close the sutures of the incisions where the laproscopic machine points were placed. Hopefully this will be the same for you.

I wish both you and Beetracy a peaceful sleep and keep the faith! Your surgical teams will take good care of you!

Good luck!!

      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! 😞
