It's surgery day!



Recommended Posts

I'll be having my surgery in a little over 3 hours. I'm nervous and excited, but mostly scared of the pain following the surgery(evil gas pain). Hopefully, I'll have the luck of some of you who came out of the operation with minimal pain. I'm not counting on it though. I know two people who have been sleeved by the same surgeon, and they said the surgery was rough for them when they came out of it. Cross your fingers for me, please. I'll be in the hospital for two nights, so I won't be able to report back until Thursday.

Best of luck. Even if you don't feel very well after surgery, it's just a tiny part of the whole process and you forget about it very quickly. I didn't feel so great after surgery but it was totally worth it. Would do it again in a second.

good luck and don't sweat the gas stuff. I did. I was lucky and had none. I hated waiting to get leak test done the next day so I could get a drink.

I had my surgery yesterday. I did not experience any gas. The worst part was drinking that nasty liquid for leak test. But they gave us a little cranberry juice after which made it better I left the hospital today and had some pain. But once I took the pain meds I felt better. I do not have a appetite at all. I'm looking forward to losing this weight. Summer is almost here. The best of luck to us all on this journey.

Thanks everyone. The surgery went well, and the pain at the incisions is fairly minimal, though I'm still taking my pain meds to try to stay on top of it. The one thing they haven't been helping is these horrible full body aches I'm getting, especially in my arms. It feels like I did about 1,000 bicep curls and shoulder presses. I absolutely can't wait for this pain to go away, Hopefully it will within the week.

      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! 😞
