I'm super nervous about getting this done but I know I need it to get my surgery and it's the last thing I need to have.... I've never been put to sleep by anesthesia and im freaking out!!!! Am I making this a bigger deal than what I need too!!!?? And then my doctor tells me no need to panic it's the same drugs they gave Michael Jackson but you will be supervised and also it's like us putting you in a comma!!!!! WTH ????????????????????

I had mine last week and was completely knocked out under general. It went by like a breeze. One minute I was chatting with the nurses in the OR while they prepped me, the next minute (or so it seemed) I was waking up in recovery and feeling great.

I had mine done this morning. I remember being prepped and answering a ton of questions, meeting with the Dr and the anesthesiologist, being rolled into the procedure area, talking to the

Nurses, feeling VERY sleepy and then waking up in the recovery room. I felt NOTHING.. Lol

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
