Surgery time was bumped twice the day before but it's done. 24 hours in hospital. Doing so much better than expected. Met a buddy walking in the hall. Being diligent to stay hydrated but sip. The gas is unpleasant but manageable. Headed for a nap.

I just got approval. Thought it would be in November.. but found out my date is on HALLOWEEN!!! Holy Crapcake!! Tomorrow, I begin my liquid pre-op diet. I am a wreck!

Please, anyone who's had their sleeve done within the past few weeks.. speak to me. Tell me how you did right after surgery. How was recovery? How was the pain? Did you take GasX strips? How are you now? Should I wear a costume to the operating room? (just kidding about the last question)

My surgeon is Marc Bessler ... did anyone have him as their surgeon?

Haha, sorry I'm laughing but I hope the nurses and surgeon aren't in costume

On a serious note, I had my surgery on the 5th. About 4 hours of nausea which I later found out was a common reaction to morphine. It stopped when they switched the morphing to 'on demand'. Ask about that if u feel sick.

I never needed any pain relief at all. I also had my gallbladder out as well! I've had worse period pains.

I went to see a movie two evenings later. You'll be fine. Think positive and think of the sexy Halloween costume you'll be wearing next year.

Good luck and we're all thinking of you

Mine 10/18. I found the chewable gas x far more effective than strips. My challenge has been staying ahead of nausea and gas. This means waking to take meds before it's unpleasant. Easier than I expected.

Fellow October sleevers, I just wanted to share that someone told me about a great app. Baritastic. It really helps to track your food and fluids. Make sure you log your measurements and weight before your surgery and it will make a nice graph showing progress.

      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.

      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! 😞
