Thanks for the inquiries. The hospital can have some stop by to sit with him a bit, but he doesnt want the help. Today I had to have cortisone shots in my neck and one of the nurses gad the sleeve done in july. She came out and sat with my son ans spoke with him. He felt much better after hearing her story and seeing how good she looked.

Thank you for the well wishes. Waiting on the hosp to call with my surgery time for tomorrow.

Every surgeon is different. My surgery will be about a half hour but I'll be in the hospital over night.

To all you moms with your fears about this surgery taking you from your kids, the only thing I can say is (hopefully it doesn't come off harsh, I find I have a blunt way about me so disclaimer: no offense meant) you have an exponentially higher chance of dying prematurely due to obesity related diseases than you do from having this surgery. This surgery is helping extend the time you have with your kids, not rob you of it.

I was just about to write what Mouse said, but she beat me to it. NOT having the surgery is what I'd be worried more about.

Everything went fabulous. Surgery was at 0830, i remember being wheeled to the OR but not getting there. Then I remember someone telling me to scooch onto the Operating Table. Then it was 230 pm and I was scooching to walk. Started walking about 3pm and have mede like 30 laps around this floor. I am starving, since they are only giving me ice chips. And my son sits beside me eating an italian hero hot fries and a pepsi.

      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... :(
