April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!



Recommended Posts

My surgery went well. Found a pretty sizable hiatal hernia while he was in there so repaired it as well. Lots of gas pain when I first got out of surgery, but it has since subsided. I walked as soon as I was able, and I do believe it has helped relieve the gas. I am not hungry or thirsty, but will work on getting those fluids in so I can go home this evening and get a full night of sleep. Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery everyone!

What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt?

For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!!

SimplySharon for me, lots of rumblings in my abdomen and needing to burp alot. Sometimes gas does get trapped in your chest and it is extremely uncomfortable and can be very painful. I know it sounds gross, but pass gas often, burp frequently, and if allowed take GasX.

Wow! I love reading your stories, and so relieved you are all ok, done, and on the other side. My date is the 23rd, so the countdown app is running! I can tell you to the millisecond how far away (or close) my surgery is. I'll be checking on you all. I'll be happy when I'm not an outsider anymore!

Really sore and in a lot of pain. Can't seem to get my liquids down, including my pain meds! I pray this gets better and I don't end up regretting this decision.

      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! 😞
