It went really well actually. It was outpatient so I was at the hospital for a total of about 5.5 hours. Pain was pretty minimal, the worst was sleeping. I'm a side or belly sleeper so that was an adjustment. I was off work for 4 weeks (work at UPS) but so far I have only lost 14 pounds. I didn't have any restriction afterward so I could eat about half of was I was eating before. Now since my fill Friday I've noticed a lil but of a difference so hopefully I'll start losing more. I got 4cc put in my band.

Are you getting nervous? Do you have a preop diet? That was bad for me as well because I do not like the Protein Shakes at all. Hah

Oh really. I wander why some make you do the overnight stay and some is outpatient. I'm glad I got to go home though. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all! Someone else has told me about the Atkins shakes as well. I might have to try some. I just like having the Protein Shake in the mornings before I goto work since I'm always in a rush. Hah.

Norton's say its because they want to make sure there are no complications before they send you home. I have never spent the night in a hospital, but oh well. Yeah those Atkins shakes save me tons of time because I am always running late for work in the morning! Lol

Dr Allen did my revision in May & I had to stay over night, it wasn't bad. The staff at Nortons were great to me. Good Luck to you

      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?

      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... :(
