I live in a tri-level and was all over the place since the day I came home from the hospital - day three....and I'm old - no problem.

I had no issues at all even as soon as I came home from hospital.

I was told to "baby step" them in the beginning. Bring one foot up and then bring the other foot up to the same stair instead of alternating stairs like you normally would.

"How is it going up and down stairs"

i can go up and down the stairs fine

i will always be hesitant about stairs

scared i will fall due to many knee, femur etc surgeries

but thats my issue, not yours

good luck :)

Ya know .... I wondered that too ... But m doctors office answered for me ...

They are on the 2nd floor ... and there is no ELEVATOR!!!!! UGH !!!!

I said to the receptionist .... " you know everyone who comes here tends to be a larger person, right? So why on earth do you NOT have an elevator?! Especially when you make us come back 2 days after surgery!"

Her reply ... "it's good for you." Tell that to my knees.

I just shook my head.

      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! 😞
