I am curious about your IV filter. Is it to prevent blood clots?

No I took the permanent option it just sounds better to always have that protection

OK. Thanks! I had never heard of that.

My doc always put these inflaters on my legs that inflate and deflate all night. They are supposed to help with clots. I'm a light sleeper so I didn't get much shut-eye during hospital stays. When I got my gall bladder out and got my sleeve, though, the morphine made it so I could sleep anyway.

Three more days! Prayers and good wishes for you!

      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! 😞
