Hello Everyone:)

I had my surgery on July 16,2013 and from what my doctor is saying I'm doing really well! My first few days I was in some pain but he staff at Yale new haven hospital were amazing. I thank God that today I'm feeling awesome besides some soreness and these gas bubbles that really hurt. Been walking as much as possible have not weighed my self just yet I have my follow up appointment on July 29th I'm going to try and wait till then:) well see how that goes ....it really helps to have the support of people who love you once I had woken up and felt the pain I was like omg what did I do but with there help support I am feeling quiet fabulous. One think I wanted to asked is does anyone know how to help with this gas those bubbles can be painful :)

Tootle:)

congratulations!!!! So nice to hear @ five days you're doing so well. If you don't mind my asking, who did the surgery?

I'm going with Dr. Floch out of Norwalk,....Yale would have been much closer.....but he came highly recommended by 2 people I know......plus...I know too many people at Yale, making it hard to keep this quiet LOL

It's so nice your family was there to support you!

Thank you so much !! I truly feel blessed with my progress! Dr Roberts at Yale performed my surgery he was very nice and even visited me a few times while I was in the hospital. I know what you mean about keeping it quiet there were a few people I knew there it was kinda awkward. Lol I heard abt a Dr in Norwalk but that would have been too far for my family and I definitely needed them.

I am 2 1/2 months out and is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The wall is coming down and I am living more again. I wish I had done sooner but everything has its time. I will not be fat and fifty this year. I will be smaller and telling everyone one I am 40!

      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! 😞
