I was terrified, so badly that my bp was so high they weren't sure they would be able to do surgery that day lol I was completely stressing myself out and just knew I was going to die. Now I just laugh at how I made it so much harder than it had to be :)

The feelings you are having are completely normal. I honestly didn't have any problem with pain. Only issue was that I sleep on my stomach normally, and couldn't for the first week after. Definitely a small price to pay for all that the surgery has given me. I am not quite 3 months out yet, and other than eating less ( & losing weight obviously) , I can't tell I even had the surgery. All that fear for nothing :) Best wishes to you all :)

Hi all,

My surgery is feb 19th, and I am currently going through all those stages of nerves and excitement and more nerves and dreams of the op etc

It is really reassuring to know that the feelings are normal.

I'm loving all the tips and advice! Keep it coming :)

      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! 😞
