My surgery will be in September! I am nervous too, but also really excited.

What are you most nervous about? For me I am most nervous about the pain post-op.

I had surgery last Thursday . I was in Walmart today walking just fine ! The gas pain is what really hurts the most ! I had virtually no pain from the surgery ! Just the horrid gas ( still have it) !

Congrats ! You soon will be on the losers bench ! You are almost there !!

I never had any pain medicine at all. Honestly had no pain. I had some soreness when getting up but that went away in a few days. I know everyone is different but don't stress over the pain....even if you have any it will be over quick! Best of luck!

For sure. I've told my family and friends. My anxiety was on high, but I got through that. The roughest part is that I'm paying for it. My insurance has some stupid clause that I don't qualify. But I need this. I'm tired of being inactive due to my weight. I want my life back!

Thank God for low interest loans. I guess I'll be more motivated to get and keep the weight off since I'm paying for it.

I'm a teacher, but my hubby has a good job. I told him it was my anniversary gift since the day of the operation is our 13th anniversary. It's costing $19,500.

      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! 😞
