This thread has me Rollin! (As I sit here sippin Gatorade at the mariott 3 days post with dr. Garcia)

I appreciate the op's view. Mine, like I said wasn't exactly the same, but everyone deserves to hear negatives. I also want to say that I think I know who the op is, but anyway.....

About being naked- yep, we were. They ungown you after you pass out, and cover your chest. I don't know about legs. I asked the dr. This after reading this thread and it was confirmed. However. I don't give 2 craps either. And my HISBAND doesn't see me naked so that says something I was asleep and I was gowned when I woke up. Fine with me.

I find it funny (yet off topic) that Laura ven strikes a pose in the middle of her brawl. Laura, you're a rock star.

Palekania- me too w the blood. None of my sleeve sisters had that, but I sure did, directly after in the recovery room. And I'm white.

First of all. Why would you go to a third world county to get such a serious surgery done. Your lucky you made it out alive. I'm surprise you didn't get an infection. I would have ran out of there.

You should run out of here....

.......wait for it......

Did anyone wear undies? Lol I'll seriously feel ok as long as I have chonies on :)

Girl...NO. I even had my chonies on and was going to play "language barrier" but she wasn't having any of it. (The nurse) in her perfect grammar: "you must take everything off. Even your undergarments."

My husband couldn't quit laughing.

I literally repeated "everything?" 7 times.

Pretty scary. I live in the DR and after much research and refrences I decided to get sleeved here. Mind you, this was not a decision I made to save money. It is cheaper to get sleeved here than in the US but I did it with the best doctor in the country. I have absolutely no complaints and I am SUPER fussy. If anyone wants any info on my expirience, msg me and I will be glad to share.

Am I the only one happy they had a no underwear rule? :) I absolutely didn't want to wear a pad, I wanted to wear a tampon... and I had heard that some surgeons forced you to wear a pad. Eww. Much rather be naked than be forced to wear a pad :)

      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! 😞
