Hi! My date for sleeve is in two days - July 14. I'm also told the stay should be about 2 days. I'm in your same boat wondering what I should take, apart from the incentive spirometer which they gave me at the pre-op and told me to bring with me to the hospital.

How did it go? I had surgery 6/10/14. It was easier that I anticipated!

it went well! No complications with the surgery, only minor pain for a few days. the hospital stay went very quickly, which was especially welcome. I've lost 30 pounds and am stalled since the second/third week, which is frustrating but still 30 lbs. in 60 days is unheard of in my past weight loss efforts so all is good. I'm struggling to get my exercise in because another doctor I have and medicine I am taking make my body unable to sweat properly. I'm in southern florida so finding a time when its either not ungodly hot or raining (hurricane season) is tough.

how is it going for 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.

      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! 😞
