I installed an iOS app call T-Zero that'll do a countdown.

Yes, I created a countdown until the 27th.

I did the same thing! I totally understand. I've got one going now for my estimated plastic surgery date.

Getting things packed for tomorrow morning.

I have to be at the hospital by 6 AM, and then surgery is scheduled for 8 AM.

The doctor has decided he is going to fix the hernia as well as do the bypass.

Initially, he was going to wait on the hernia repair until everything healed up inside.

I am looking forward to this new path in my life, and have no regrets.

Surgery went just fine.

Five holes in my belly.

He put in three sutures to repair the hernia, so that's the thing is giving me the most pain now.

No gas pain to be had. Coughing is a nightmare at the hernia repair site.

Was released on Saturday afternoon to full fluids, which surprised me.

My surgery weight was 283, and this morning I was at 277.2. That's the lowest I have been in several years.

Congrats!!! I know it feels great to be down to a weight you haven't seen in years.

I was sleeved on 10/27 at 271lbs. Also had my gallbladder removed and the combination caused severe nausea. I'm feeling so much better now! With the drain and gallbladder removal I ended up with six holes. The worst for me is the drain site. I too experienced no gas pain whatsoever. This morning I was down to 254.4lbs which is pretty amazing.

As of today, I'm at 274.2 pounds. I'm not stressing about the amount of weight I have or have not lost so far. It'll leave eventually. :-)

I can't remember the last time I was in that area, weight-wise.

My gut feels fine, but the hernia area is sore and testy. Tramadol isn't helping, nor is Norco. :-(

Meanwhile, I slept about 12 hours from last night till today. I figure it was just my body demanding quiet recovery time.

You absolutely should not stress about it! It will come off and your are doing great so far. I hope the hernia area heals soon. Listen to your body and rest up! I'm jealous have a two year old so I won't see 12 hours of sleep for another 16 years lol.

I'm at 252 today and my main complaint is I'm suuuuper constipated! Have my post op in an hour and I'm hoping i can get some tips on this from my doc. It's the worst feeling.

sleep in 16 years? My daughter is 33 and I still have trouble sleeping. Your parents are already laughing about your misconception.

      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?
