Officially Scared To Death !



Recommended Posts

I am sure you will be fine. Emotional roller coaster is understandable, it's human nature.

I have had to have my band completely emptied. Silent reflux , coughing got so bad, I could hardly breathe. Have to have some diagnostics next week once it has had change to settle, barium, endoscopy and possibly CT scan. K hope this wont mess up my planned MGB.

Good luck again for Thursday.

God Bless x

@@Band07 Hoping your operation went smoothly and you are on the mend.

Take care x

Everything was great ! Gas pain and pain from the drain was the worst but as of today I feel good except occasionally moving wrong and feeling pulling in the incisions. I'm on Clear liquids for a week and they are going down well. I'm still resting for the most part mixed in with some laundry, dishes, light cleaning ect but I go back to work tomorrow.

Great to see you the other side :). BUT BACK TO WORK TOMORROW? DId your surgeon OK that. Most folks I know take minimum 4 weeks off. Please take good care of yourself and your new WL tool.

4 weeks! Lol that's crazy, I would go nuts ! Remember this isn't my first surgery, I had lapband on a Friday and went back Monday, I had my band to sleeve revision on a Friday and went back Tuesday. I'm not over doing it, I work at a desk and believe me, I'm doing great ! I never understood how anyone could need more than a week at absolute max !

I had my sleeve done on a Wed and was back to work the following Tues. The Dr said I wouldn't feel like going, he was right. But...once I was up and walking, I actually felt better than just sitting at home and trying to walk there. One day I was absolutely wiped out...but no lifting in my job, I felt great going back.

      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! 😞
