Good luck to you! And, welcome to the site. While complications are rare they can happen. I was nervous but honestly I wasn't afraid at all. I was seriously just too excited about the "after" more so than the before. I was just so ready to start fresh!

I understand however that things are different when you have a family but seriously, I think you'll be just fine! The pain for me was like a rough day of ab work at the gym, in fact I was up walking constantly right after. They give you pain meds and meds if you feel nauseous from the anesthesia.

I didn't vomit at all during the pureed stage but once I started eating solids I totally had to learn my limit (Sometimes the hard way, i.e. trips to the bathroom) Its a learning process and journey!

Good luck to you and I hope everything goes smoothly!

Thanks for replying! I am very worried and nervous! Some people say it's a blessing and amazing others say it was the worst thing they did! I am worrying it will end up being the worst thing

      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! 😞
