Finished with pre ops and cleared for surgery! EGD was no big deal. So relieved it's over.

The surgeon called me the healthiest patient ever, so that felt good! :-)

Finally the day is here! I have to be at the hospital in 45 minutes (6:15) and surgery is at 8:30. Didn't get much sleep last night so hopefully they'll knock me out tonight.

Welcome Crosby and GAgirl81. Crosby, how bad was hip replacement? I'm having GB first, but I think my hip in next on my list!

It has been a big relief. I was on crutches before and in constant pain. I am 8 weeks post op and only use a cane when I am out. There are two common methods of doing it ( anterior and posterior, lateral is used minimally it seems.) anterior is easier to recover from because there are no cut muscles. I had posterior and was non weight bearing for 4 weeks after. Pain only bad for first week and even then not terrible but I have a high pain tolerance. I am probably going to need the other done before long.

I was hoping to have RNY first but I was in to much pain. I am hoping after the hip this one will feel easy.

Well I got home and looked @ my pedometer app on my phone, I did 4000 steps today. I think that's really good 4 days postop. I did have to take a dose of Hydrocodone after getting home, but I feel great otherwise. I don't think I remember feeling this good this soon after a surgery. I really hope everyone who has had surgery this week is doing as well as me or better.

      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?

      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
