Hi Imjenn! Seems like a lot compared to others. How are you doing? I'm almost 3 weeks post op. Doing better every day. Where did you have your surgery?

I have 6 incisions. I was told that, during surgery, if the surgeon needs to "see" certain area's, an extra incision or two may need to be made.

Yes it is! But my pain is very well controlled!:)

I'm doing pretty great! Supper didn't go so well yesterday because I just was not hungry, but looking forward to Breakfast today!

And I had mine at Sanford in Sioux Falls, South Dakota!

I had 5 in a line straight across from my left to my right, BUT they had to work around all the scars from my old lap-band installation and removal.

My daughter used to dot-to-dot them with her fingertip. Lol

      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! 😞
