Hello from Utah! Revision Post Op Day 6



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted a lot. I'm still a rookie at this. I have been so thankful for everyone sharing their experience that I thought I should be brave and share too & become active here.

I'm 45 yrs old (will be 46 next week .. gah!) and had the band put in about 5 years ago. No complications that I was aware of. I had a fill, then unfill etc...I finally got to sick of it I had the revision to RNY on 08/11. I only lost about 30 lbs.

My doc said that my band had slipped and it was too tight. Sooo glad it's gone. Oh and get this....I forgot to weigh the morning of surgery. I haven't got on the scale because I'm still all bloated & swollen. I think I started around 307 lbs. Here's to a new outlook and new behaviors!

      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! 😞
