Recommended Posts

As some of you know...ya can't just tell everyone about this type of surgery because some are judgmental and/or discouraging. I told a handful of friends and a handful of family members to include my super supportive hubby. I would like to make acquaintance with folks that have been through the surgery and share our experiences. I am a really outgoing and supportive person...I'm sure we could help one another tremendously. When is/was your surgery date? How are you doing?

How did you do today? I hope your surgery went well.

Hi Akusah! Everything went great. Dr. Steinberg is amazing!! Very very little pain! I woke feeling a bit uncomfortable but that quickly subsided. The team at DeKalb medical in Georgia is awesome!

Akusah you will do great. I only stayed in the hospital one day. I am home and wrapped in the love and care of my husband and mom! Best wishes I will be thinking of you on the 22nd :)

      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! 😞
