Congratulations on recieving your revision date! I wish you much success!

For most folks it's usually a overnight stay and as long as you are able to get up and work around and their no major complications they release you with pain meds and instructions with regards to the first phase of eating which is Clear Liquids and definitly should continue to walk because those gas pains can be a pain. I don't know your level of pain but normally people take a week or two off just to get back to normal I don't know if you will be able to be back at work the next day, put I don't know how you handle pain.

I hope all goes well and keep us posted.

I would like to join but I do not want it to show on my page. I am choosing not to tell everyone about the surgery so is there a way for me to join and no one see it?

      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! 😞
