We'll see you there! My sister and I are scheduled for 5pm and 6pm tomorrow. The nerves kicked in last night and, of course, my mind went to the worst place possible as I was snuggling my son. But I'm confident everything will turn out great and my new life with my family will begin this week!! Really looking forward to kicking a ball around without feeling my joints scream!!

Best wishes ladies!!!

KiKi52 & Designer Edit (& sis) I'm thinking of you three. I'm believing that all is well and will stay well with you all. I'm asking The Lord to bless Dr. M's & his assistants hands and hearts also.

Hey Trice,

Did I see you in the waiting room entering the clinic? I was really out of it still so I'm not sure if that was you. My sister and I are with Kiki and Machè (sp?) at the recovery house now. The surgeries went well even though my sister and I had a mild melt-down about 1 hr before wondering, "why are we doing this to ourselves". It only took a few minutes of talking to remember all of the benefits (I think it was hunger, thirst, and a bit of a language barrier that made me panic).

 

The doctors and nurses were so warm and friendly - a real pleasure to be in their care. My sister didn't have her surgery until 8pm last night so she's still more sore and loopy than I am but we're both doing well and the other ladies seem to be too!

 

Good luck and you're in our thoughts!

Yes that was me! I thought I saw you too going downstairs with your pillows ????. Bless your hearts. We talked to Kiki 52 and another lady and they seemed to be doing well also. Yea a slight language barrier. I'm making it. I'm just ready to go back and get it over with lol. I might run into you all at the recovery house tomo. There are three of us having surgery today.

My fear was that I'd instantly regret it, especially once I was in a bit of pain but the pain meds knock you out so you won't really have a chance to process it and when you do, it's fine. The fear is the real enemy!!

 

By now you've had it anyway so let us know how you're feeling when you feel up to it!

 

Talk soon,

Gen

We're back home in Canada after a long day and doing well. One question I have to ask you all though - did you actually crush and eat the antibiotics every 12 hours? The taste was horrid... Like made me gag, got the hiccups (ouch), never want to take it again horrid!! Going to see if I can get an appointment with my GP tomorrow for an alternative - liquid or injection or whatever!!

      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! 😞
