I just wanted to let the future sleevers out there know that I finally had my surgery after waiting forever and it went fantastic and I was just going to share some of my experiences with you that I've had since the surgery.

Going into surgery I was so nervous and was just beside myself with anxiety but that changed very quickly once I had the drugs to calm me down. The operation was very quick (about 30-45 minutes).

I won't lie to anyone (and I wish someone would have exaggerated this to me) I felt like I had been hit by a bus after surgery. I was in so much pain all the way up to my ribs because of the gas.

As the day went on the gas had gotten better and I feel much better. I've had some nausea all day but meds have kept it under control and I have yet to vomit or anything. It's taken me all day to get all of my liquids in, but I'm almost there.

But for anyone approaching your surgery soon, I just want to let you know, I have no regrets and I feel great for just being 1 day post op and can't wait to see all the changes :)

I am scheduled for Friday and I too have been very anxious and second guessing my decision.

Congrats to you and I wish you a speedy recovery!

      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! 😞
