Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i finally got my band on April 30th. I got to come home May 1st with a 102 fever:sick . The Doc said it was from me being put to sleep. That my lungs just needed a little exercise. And just as he said I started walking and useing a breathing treatment and i have not had a fever higher than 99.2 since. Dr. Lin from Atlanta Ga was the greatest. Did anyone else has this problem with the fever or did any of you have diarrea after your surgery.

Thank

Stacy:p

Hi Katie nice to meet you. I really did like Dr. Lin. Did you also have yours done at crawford long hospital? I live in Cartersville Ga. Were do you live? I hope somewhere near by so we can be band buddies LOL. I'm 32 Wife and mother of one. My little girl is wonderful she is four going on sixteen or so she thinks HA HA. My little girl and my husband are the whole reason i did this. Because i want to live life with them not just sit back and watch them. I'm 5'8" starting weight 243lbs and now as of this morning i was 227lbs my BMI was 36.8. And i really needed to do this why i was young enough to loss some of the ricks of surgery. I have not had my band long but i already know i made the right choice for me!!!please keep in touch need all the support i can get.

I was banded on Tuesday, but fortunately didn't have any Nausea, I did have a some liquid BMs the 2nd day, but other than that, no GI problems. I also have some shoulder pain off and on also, but nothing plain tylenol.

Good luck on your journey!

      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... :(
