I was really nervous, but the pread at the hospital, precert from Karen went really smooth. The admision day was easy I was there bu the required time, all process in the admision was really fast I felt very comfortable, the nurses and drs were very care about me and how I felt before and after surgery! Overall agreat ecperience, I was walking the same day of the surgery and went back home the next day. Following all indications sharp by the hour!

Dr McGill was my surgeon. He was GREAT. I've been an ICU nurse for 30 years and had plenty of questions. he never got frustrated with me, and always answered my questions and made sure I was comfortable. Karen the dietician was great, she has some great tips for making eating easier after surgery. The staff at Piedmont hospital were AMAZING. Felt like I was the only patient on the unit. I think they camped out at my door and waited for me to need something. Dr McGill even dealt with my crazy mother and family while I was in recovery, and he did it with a smile and never took it personally. He reminds me of an overgrown Opie Taylor from Andy Griffith show. AMAZING doctor. Recently I had a stomach virus and had some vomiting. I had to call the answering service at 7:30 in the morning. Dr McGill called me back within 5 minutes and when I apologized for bothering him; he stopped me mid sentence and told me that was his job, I was not bothering him. Got me feeling better very quickly.

      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.

      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! 😞
