how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?



Recommended Posts

mine was 1:20, recovery room was full so they carted me over to the pre-op area. Had to wait there for 3+ hours until a room was ready. They cranked up my morphine a bit too much and I was a zombie the entire day of surgery. Once they dialed it back down to human levels, I felt great. 2 night stay for me. 12 days post-op and I gotta say that I feel about 90% of "normal", but 28lbs lighter!

I was in for about three hours but I had issues and they had to shock my heart twice during surgery. I am just glad I woke up.

      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! 😞
