Glad to hear! Only one incision of mine hurts. Every time I fall asleep a nurse comes in or my iv pumps starts beeping like crazy. Lol! Awesome nursing staff here so can't complain. Are you staying 2 nights? I'm also slowly switching pain meds from morphine to liquid loratab...I think they make it taste bad so u won't want to take it. Haha! ;) your table is so clean! ;)

Do you feel pressure on your chest area?

A liitle bit below the chest off and on. The vision was from the anesthesia wearing off.

Feeling good! Just got released and headed home to my own bed. How did your leak test go? I'm surprised they didn't do that while u were still under anesthesia.

How are you feeling?

Feeling better today. First two days were pretty bad with nausea and pain. Couldn't keep meds down, but I can now. i came home today. Trying to sleep it off. I still have chest pain when I drink cold things, but feel like I'm turning the corner.

One thing I can say I have not has nausea as of yet. Pain yes. Pain like from incisions. The pain is till there. chest pains come and go but I guess is just the process. I'm home now and I feel like ideas doing so much better in the hospital. I was able to bring my Meds down by crushing them and drinking it with Water.< /p>

Hey girls. I think I'm over the gas pains but 2 of my incisions still hurt. They are just tender and since I have a cold it hurts to cough. They are bruised pretty good but the bruises aren't huge. I don't even want to get on the scale yet. Lol! Are y'all wearing a binder around your stomach? I think it helps. I'm just sip sip sippin on Water right now. :)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
