I'm both so excited and so scared about rerouting my insides so to speak. I'm not scared about where I'm going or anything like that but scared about making this huge change. My stomach in so many ways has ruled my life from lactose intolerance to acid reflux to IBS what I have chosen to put IN my mouth has had a dramatic effect on how I feel, look, participate and live. So here are my worries today, what if there are complications in the surgery? I know these are questions I will ask Dr Illan . But as the date looms closer I'm beginning to get queasy

It's the Morning of my Surgery. I'm excited but really nervous now. Showered and packed. My friend is picking me up in a few minutes to drive me to the Hospital. New life here I come!

Hi everyone. Had my surgery. It was rough night. Lots of vomiting and pain. Doctor is having me stay another day. I have been up walking today and I'm much less nauseas.

I also have all three of these things and my doctor said that the surgery will not affect them. Although bypass will help with the reflux.

      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! 😞
