I'm scheduled to be at the hospital 6:00 this morning. I'm really nervous scared and having second thoughts. I pray this procedure will be the extra help I need to finally get back healthy again! Wish me luck! ????

I had mine on the 22nd as well, just got back home yesterday. I am adjusting to eating slowly and hardly at all. Pain is more severe at incision sights since I got home and only have pain pills every 6 hours or more. Excited to be done with the first month post op.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! My procedure went well but my time in the hospital was terrible. My pain was through the roof and the hospital staff made everything worse. The treatment was so bad there I asked to come home the next night during a winter storm and I had a 4 hour drive to my house. Once I got home I started feeling much better. I'm getting my fluids in better and even walking more. I'm down 10lbs since my surgery date (1-22) and I'm excited to see where this new journey of my life will take me! Good luck everyone!!! We will make it and we will be successful! ????

I'm sending you all my support! It seems bad right now but your days will get better. Now that you are home I bet you will be feeling completely different in a day or two. Stay encouraged and remember your goals! ????

      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! 😞
