Yeah. I was rhinking of the insicions myself since pool Water does have chlorine. Better be safe than sorry. I'll pack and picnic for the kids and take piks. That'll be just as fun. :)

Wow my doc told me a month to make sure everything is healed. Swimming is one thing I was looking forward to and it will be the end of July before I can get in. Just amazing how all docs have different restrictions.

My doctor said 4-6 weeks due to all the germies in the Water. He said there is not enough chlorine in the world to kill all the e choli etc.

      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! 😞
