Well I'm home! Surgery went fine. Minimal pain just can't get my oxygen up. I was discharged Friday 22nd (surgery 2/20) and literally at the front door when I got very dizzy and they ended up readmitting me for a day. I was sent home on oxygen this time. So no other complications. Just plugging thru the normal healing pain. Blessings to those having surgery this week. Count me ON THE LOSING SIDE!!!

Glad you swooned before leaving the hospital and not when you were home on your own or something! Here's to a speedy recovery!

I just realized looking at my ticker I'm 80 pounds from goal...that sounds so much better tan 101!!!!

Yaaaaay!!!!! Congrats!

Do ya'll think someone is trying to tell me not to have this surgery? Got up this morning and there is 2 inchs of snow, weather advisory. I have congestion in my bronchial tubes, so doubled up on my Keflex. Does anyone know if this will hurt me? Schools are closed, county offices, airport closed. Having to drive to Dallas.

Let me know your thoughts, we are leaving in 30 minutes with extra blankets and lots of prayers.

Thank you, I'm so nervous and anxious, I'm waiting for the surgeon to call for my surgery time. I can't believe that this is really happening.

      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.

        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... :(
