I'm deciding my surgery dates and I obviously want to get it done sooner rather than later. I want to do it the beginning of November (like the 5th or 12th), but my band has a show on the 22nd of November and I wasn't sure how recovery works and if that is enough time in between.

How long has it taken for you guys to feel normal again (other than the eating and hunger part, I know that's going to be different lol).

I took a week off and was fine to go back to work. Others have taken longer to feel better. Everyone is different.

I had my surgery on October 1 and am returning to work on Monday. I am far enough along in my recovery that I was able to go trail walking with my family today for about 5 miles. Everyone is different of course, but I would think that if you had the earlier date in November you would be able to still perform on the 22.

      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! 😞
