I'm 22 years old female and my surgery date is scheduled for April 14th. I'm 5'11/6', depends on who measures me, and I currently weight 340lbs. I would love to find someone to keep in touch with who has similar age, stats, and surgery date!!

If you can't find someone your age and stats, and still want a buddy, just let me know. I'm 53, and am 4 months out from surgery. We all go through pretty much the same stuff, so it's good to have someone to go through it with. Good luck on your journey!

Hi my name is Samantha I'm 5'6 258.8 lbs and had my surgery April 7. My first day after surgery I said I should have stayed fat.. I didn't have too much pain. I'm a week and two days out. BEST thing I ever did. Went to the doc today and I am down 20.8 pounds.. I'm 20% down to my goal of 100 pounds. Good luck to everyone that does this surgery. You will not regret!!

I FINALLY got the call from the hospital with my time~ 6AM so I have to leave my house at 4:15AM to get to the hospital. I'm now officially freaking out. I'm so emotional I cry like over everything. I'm a Girl Scout leader and tonight at our meeting the girls were hugging me telling me that they will keep me in their prayers and I was literally fighting the tears.

You will be fine. They will give u pain meds often and even if u don't think u need them take them. U don't want the pain to catch up with u.. And it's not bad pain. I walked 6 laps the night of my surgery.. Walk walk walk.. The more u walk the more the gas will move around. They talk about shoulder pain from the gas.. I didn't have any. Just keep walking

      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! 😞
