I had my surgery April 9. Be sure to ask your anesthesiologist for lots of anti nausea medication. That helps after surgery. Take as much pain med as allowed. Stay ahead of it. I had very little pain. And im only taking tylenol now. I did have the left shoulder pain. Turns out it's from the gas they inject when they do the surgery laparoscopically. I am eating and drinking fine except for a lot of stomach gurgling and gas. Walking helps a lot. Dr Thomas Chua in Milwaukee WI is the best.

Hey guys I had my sleeve on April 11th and Im so happy about it. My surgery was performed by Dr. Steinberg outside of Atlanta GA. Today is my third day out and I feel fine. I have a little pain but its tolerable Im trying to get all the liquids in but Im finding that hard. Before Aprill 11 I was a uncontrolled type 2 diabetic but since the surgery I havent had any medication and my blood sugar has been running in the 80's. Anybody that is a diabetic will definitely understand what a great feeling that is. I weighed myself this morning and so far Im 10lbs down on day three. My hospital stay was very minimal I went in on April 11 and and was home on April 12. The key is not to let the pain get the best of you, get up and walk and alot of the pain will subside. The hospital staff was so so amazed with me because as soon as I got out of surgery I got up and walked and went to the bathroom. Let me state this you will have pain after surgery and a morphine pump but most of the pain is gas pain so if you walk a lot of that will go away. If anyone has any questions reply to me or email me at erin_smith8@aol.com, I will be also creating a youtube video as well soon

I'm having mine on April 18th. I was supposed to have it in January but when my surgeon took out my gall bladder there were gall stones in a duct that he couldn't get out. I had to have an ERCP & because of that they couldn't do the sleeve because they have to put a scope down through your stomach to the small intestine to get to that duct & they wouldn't have been able to do that right after the sleeve so we had to delay the sleeve. I'm exited to finally get it taken care of, it's been almost a year since I decided to have 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! 😞
