Recommended Posts

Not good. I'm supposed to leave the hospital tomorrow.

Hi there, just curious if you go home... Who will manage the wound? Dressing changes? Are they going to send someone like a visiting Rn? I hope they have a plan about it coz the wound needs a lot of cleaning and caring for. You're in pain and recovering so I hope they don't expect ou to do that ... Get well soon and hope this ordeal will end soon. hUgS!

I'm sending prayers your way. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I have my surgery consult this Thursday and even though it scares me to death after reading about your experience I know I will make it through...just as you will. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this in the first place.

This photo was taken 2-2. Not trying to gross anyone out I just feel people should see this. I have yet to have a day with out pain. My wound has to stay open and heal from the inside out.

This is not commen! So dont freak out....hard to say right. At this point yes I have lost weight. I never had a true addiction to food. I've just been big my whole life. I dont miss food. I'm never hungry. I'm just out of work way longer than expected.

I will update my profile here soon people. I even have all my costs lol. Anthems website lists everything. I have so much o need to pick a day I have patience.

Yes. Very slowly though bc the wound is so deep. But all the nurses that come to repack me always say it looks meaty lol. Apparently its good that the inside of the hole looks like a fresh cut of meat

      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! 😞
