Nope. I woke from surgery as if I had a good nap and could have got up and left. I felt as if I didn't have the surgery. By the time I left for the hotel I was on the go. Went shopping, sightseeing and stayed extra time to enjoy a MX and S Cailifornia vacation. Flew home to enjoy a skiing vacation (didn't ski), but I had no complaints in regards to surgery. Felt I could have returned to work when I got home, but I already took the time off so I enjoyed it

You MUST.. Walk walk walk the minute you wake up. This is the only thing that will make your gas pains go away. I didn't have any, but many do. I didn't realize I had a drain until I got up to walk.. So remember to be careful not to pull on it while turning or moving around.

I'm not sleeved but researching and trying to decide what I want to do. If I do I will be going to Mexico to Dr. Ponce to have the surgery. My friend had it done four months ago and she said that the staff and Trish was the best!!! Just have to way out the pros and cons. What was your starting weight? I live in Las Vegas Nevada.

I was the same way. Kept thinking and thinking and to be honest i wasn't even100% sure when they wheeled me to the OR. I am 5 days post op today and I feel fine, just a bit tired. But when it comes to experience with dr Ponce and trish- I would do it again in a heartbeat. I drove alone and trish was there every step of the way.

      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

      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... :(
