The hospital I'll be going to only has private rooms, so that's a given. I'm so glad to not share.

The pain pump thingy sounds cool. There is a more technical tem for it, I'm sure. I've had them on patients before. It was like a little ball and tubes that sent the med to the source. It worked really well for the orthopedic patients I've cared for. I'll only be in the hospital for one night, and liquid pain med for me.

You're right, it has a specific name but I can't remember what it's called. I'm in there for 2 nights and have a 3 hr ride home so I'm hoping they remove it last. Lol

Isn't it a pump of some sort? (I feel it has pump in the name but I'm probably way off lol)

Im hoping the floor will be slow when I have surgery so i can be alone. But I doubt it, as he added me on to his day so I could have surgery over my spring break.

OK, so it was driving me nuts not remembering the name. On-Q post op pain management system is what I'm thinking of. It worked really well for the patients that had it.

I think so. When she said I'd have it I was like wtf is that. Lol. And then she described what it does and said "you'll like it. I promise". Lol

Maybe your roomie, if you have one, is interesting. Like an old woman that used to be a flapper and knew lots of gangsters and tells you awesome stories. Hey, it could happen...

Yes, if it's the On-Q system, you will love it!

I love your imagination about the roomy. Lol. A person can dream!

Yes. You should look it up. Then you'll be glad to have it. Well she send you home with it? I'm a little jealous that you get that.

She said it's removed right before I go home. I'm feeling so much better about it Bc she said there is one really deep muscle stitch that is painful and so she will give me an On-Q pump to ease that pain.

Looked it up and it looks like it's pretty efficient and the delivery catheter is really small in diameter so I'm a happy camper.

      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... :(
