Don't be nervous! You'll fall asleep and wake up sleeved, that's what it feels like.

I think they're releasing me today! Not much pain other than gas bubbles - no nausea or vomiting since the 1st night.

I had to wait too. But they put me in a heated bed, which was toasty since it is still cold here (early spring) and I read magazines. Don't be nervous. They will take good care of you. Before you know it, it will be all over :-)

Today I'm four weeks post op. I had my surgery Oct 2. I feel amazing and blessed to have done this. I never really take full body shots of myself in the past, but I had one sorta. Last night I got to shop for a new pair of jeans and for the first time it wasn't at lane Bryant or the plus size section. I've been loosing more inches this past two weeks and anyway. Was able to wear a size 12 in jeans from American Eagle! ( I actually got to buy it off the rack) I feel amazing. Heres a before and after picture. Hope everyone is doing just as good!! My face looks so thin and not two chins! Lol.

Yes! Walk as much as you comfortably can! I did at least a mile the day after I got out of the hospital, with my 81 yo dad and 76 yo mom by my side!

I had my surgery on the 22nd and I don't know if anyone has had this particular problem. I have this pain in my groin area on the left side when I move my left leg a certain way. I can't make any quick movements or I will get a very sharp pain. Has anyone else experience that?

No' date=' but as a nurse, I recommend you get that checked out... It could be nothing more than sore muscles, but it could also be something more serious such as a blood clot. Best wishes, I'll be thinking of you!

Yep, definitely should get it checked.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
