Very excited and kinda scared at the same time. I just don't know what to expect afterwards. Everybody's experiences are so different. I've had two c-sections so I kinda remember the pain from those.

Going back to work depends on the job you do. I ran a daycare at the time and went back in 2 weeks with little assistance

The pain I had was not as bad as having my gall bladder removed. I will tell you to make sure you stay hydrated and drink like they recommend. I got to the point that Water made me nauseous so I got really dehydrated 3 weeks after and ended up in hospital for 2 days

Hello! I'm just really hoping people exaggerate their stories. I also hope I just don't crave food anymore. Can you imagine?? Good luck to you

Welcome! So excited for you. In my opinion the first week post-op is NOT pleasant. BUT sooooo worth it in the end. I would do it again for sure. I went back to work as a nurse at a clinic a week later and did fine, naps are good early out. Good luck!

Guess that didn't come out right.. I meant just some people on here (not you) tell some horror stories. I just am hoping I don't experience anything like some people have. I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that ...too much thinking I guess about everything ..LOL

      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.

        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
