Surgery went well yesterday, but still in lots of pain and very nauseous. Hoping tomorrow is better.

Thanks for the support everyone.

I'm on my way home now, but Had a VERY BAD night as I woke up at 2:00am with severe convulsions. I honestly thought I was going to die as my body shook uncontrollably. It was very scary.

Thankfully I am better now, but they never could pinpoint the problem. We all think it was a severe drug interaction or overdose.

Yeah it is quite nerve racking to wake up to severe convulsions. Never had anything like that happen to me before. As a result, I now have really bad neck pain as well.

Hope you are doing better and home resting to recover!!!

I am starting to feel a little better each day. I looked up my Rx's I was given in the hospital and one of them had seizures as one of their top serious side effects, so I think that is what happened.

Good to here your doing better I get drain and staples out tomorrow and cannot wait.

Thankfully my drain was taken out before I left the hospital and I don't have staples for my openings.

Good luck having them removed tomorrow!

      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! 😞
