Hopefully, this is no surprise for your surgeon +/or nutritionist.

What have they said about it??

Be well, and keep us posted.

Suggested I stay an extra night and also the possibility of sending social worker to my house to give me IV fluids for 5 days post-op. Since I am well aware of my condition I think I will be more focused on getting the Water in - but from what I have been reading - it seems to be tough to do for some...

A social worker? I'd rather learn to do my own IVs (and I have). But either way, accept the offer to help keep yourself hydrated.

Getting your fluids in can be a difficult task right after surgery for a person with two kidneys. If having some IV fluids will ease your path, why not??

Be healthy and post often to let us know how you are doing!

There was another post about this issue recently, someone who had kidney disease in one of his I think? Would you be okay getting enough Protein in post op? (I'm assuming you've talked about that with your doc)

Update - home today - seems I am not having any trouble getting fluids in- however too much milk of magnesia at the hospital has given my the runs... So once I work past that I will update everyone!

Having "the trots" should be good exercise! Just joking. :)

Feel better, friend.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
