Yeah, they just wheeled me into the operating room and told me to put my ars in a certain spot and don't even remember putting my head down. When I woke up, it was over... piece of cake.

No. Didn't know, didn't see... I was sleepin'

Doubt if they would allow videos for legal reasons, I imagine.

My husband was with me until they took me away for surgery. The IVs with the pain meds were in.

And do they put the tube in after you get into the OR? Sorry for so many questions. I'm already an over analyzer, have anxiety and now I'm just scared lol!

I really don't know.

Just relax and go with the flow.

The last thing I remember before going out was the anesthesiologist. He said he was going to use the same medicine that Michael Jackson died of to put me out. Then I woke up in a state of confusion. I pulled the oxygen tubes from my nose and was trying to yank my IV out. It took me a minute to remember where I was and why.

I've not had my WLS yet, but I have had more than my share of surgeries, and you are not awake when they insert the tube down your throat. That would be aweful! Just relax, and enjoy the nap.

      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! 😞
