Doctoral class and sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I'm a doctoral student that will be having her surgery on Thursday and have an assignment due Sunday. It consists of a lot of research. Will I be able to work from bed or will this task be impossible? I told my professors about my situation but didn't ask for extra time being that my surgery has already been switched once and they had already extended my time once.

I postponed my surgery until after I'd completed grad school...I didn't take any chances...

with any surgery there is the risk of complications so I decided I'd wait...

Yikes! I feel your concern, I'm in grad school as well and the timing could not be worse. Spring '13 started on the 14th for me. I had my surgery on the 16th, got discharged on the 17th, and had a paper due 19th. It is manageable, just stay focused. Good luck!

I just finished grad school in December. I can't imagine the recovery and grad school. Props to you! My surgery isn't until March so I can't answer your question. But, I wouldn't take any chances. Is there any way you could get the assignment done prior to?

I am currently studying in a doctoral program. I stayed in Mexico for 5 days. I havent missed any assignments, i wasnt bedridden or in pain. I went back to work after the weekend. I got a A- in the course in November when i had the surgery.

      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! 😞
