I didn't have one either. My dr said I would have shown some supmtoms already if that was the case.

My doctor requires it for all his patients just as a precautionary measure. But it's where you stand in front of a x ray machine and you drink two different drinks and they watch them travel through your body and make sure there is no leak or anything.

I also have the grumbling stomach. It makes noise even though there is no hunger. It happens mostly after drinking. A friend is 9 months out and says it still happens. I guess they call it grouch pouch!!!

I had my surgery in the 27 had to be there at 5:30. Everything has been good very little pain only took pain meds at hospital. I was up walking right after I got up to my room. I had my surgery on Wednesday and I was shopping at the mall Saturday. I feel good. I have lost 10 pounds since Wednesday. My stomach is a little tight getting up and down but not bad. Drinking is going ok having trouble with the Protein Shakes.< /p>

      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! 😞
