That is probably the same incision they put the stapler in! That was my toughest incision, too.

White coat syndrome??

I'm pretty sure it is. I don't have that around my PCP, he's really relaxed and cool about things so it's easy to relax around him.

Yeah, it's the only one that is a little sore. The others feel fine. It's not hard getting up and down, or walking, but hurts if I move a certain way. I've been sitting here sipping Crystal Light and Water, seems like I'm still so thirsty I want to chug a gallon of water already. But, I'll hold out, sipping my little few ounces here and there.

So glad to hear you are doing well. I think it is down hill from here!

Thanks. I'm surprised at how easy things have gone so far. Some minor pain and discomfort, but all else is well. I was dry heaving in the hospital after they gave me pain shots, after telling them my pain was minute and I didn't need a shot, but oh well.

I took my shower today, got my bandages off. Looks pretty cool, haha. No red marks, one of the cuts is a little swollen, the big one, but no red marks or anything of that nature. Trying to get in a little Protein with my Water now.

Anyone have any idea on how many showers or how long I can sit in one? A cold shower sounds amazing right now.

I showered the day I came home. I wrapped Saran Wrap around my inspections so they didn't get wet. I needed to get the funk off and begin to feel normal. Best of luck to you man!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
