I don't know I've been to centers and what it really matters is a doc who can think and not constantly believe that tests are the end all be all of an existence.

Jemjars how are you doing? Its been a couple weeks and no posts.

So it's been 3 months. 3 weeks after surgery was hospitalized with severe dehydration. A week later I was scoped and dilated. Then we started cts and ultra sounds and on 5/12 we did a gallbladder surgery and he went back in to look at the sleeve to make sure it wasn't twisted which it wasn't. Then a week after a got out of hospital I'm back in for infection and dehydration. I'm still not eating. Drinking about 24 oz of Fluid a day and still on liquid diet. Saw doc on Friday and he talking about paralyzed stomach. Feeding tubes into intestines and going to bypass. He now wants me to stop shakes and focus on Water only. I drank 5 oz yesterday. 6 oz today. He wants 7 oz tomorrow. I am malnourished hair is falling out and nails are riding up of nail bed. He is no doing B12 shots hoping to help with the malnourishment. Can anyone relate?

Jem you are in our prayers. I've been there and if there is anything I can help you with ask away. I even took my own bloodwork, etc. so I'm not afraid of doing stuff.

      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... :(
