I'm scheduled for November 17th at the University of Chicago Hospital. I'm unsure of what all I should pack.

I had surgery Nov 7 and went home the next day. The only things I brought was my phone, my Kindle, a toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, lip balm, biotene spray and a change of underwear. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital.

Good luck to all of you November sleevers.

Thank you

My post op appointment is on the 21st of November

My scale shows I am 5 lbs less than my surgery weight.. I am also excited to know how much lighter i will be one month out. Good luck on your liquid diet. Hang in there, it will all pay of as "easier recovery" later. (Hugs)

Hello Surgery sister. I am doing fantastic.. except for the "mental" hunger i have been experiencing. I know it is mental because i do not feel hungry physically. I am well nourished by following my post-op diet to the dot. I am teaching myself discipline right now :)

How are you feeling?

@@mbarrow01 Hi! I had my surgery on November 8th. How is your recovery going?

I'm doing very well I think. Getting my Water and my Protein in. My biggest problem is that I am a lazy person and I have a hard time making myself go out and walk like I am supposed to. But I'm trying.

How has your recovery been?

My surgery is set for November 29, 2016.

I am new to this site. I had my pre op meeting with my surgeon today. Getting a little nervous. Never had any kind of surgery before.

      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! 😞
