Thank you! Yes, a little. More nervous about keeping all the Vitamins, pills and injections straight after. I'm trying to come up with some organization and checklist for it to go through everyday so I don't miss anything.

They also gave me a RX for something to prevent gallstones. Which could be helpful in preventing your gall bladder to be removed down the road. BUT it costs $350 a month. They told me it was optional but if it'll really prevent them and additional surgery down the road, I feel like I should take it.

Has anyone heard about this and the effectiveness?

I haven't heard of it but I had my gallbladder out already. He didn't mention injections to me either...but I've been reading about people needing to do that..I really don't like needles so I hope I won't have too

Did u fill it yet? I had orthopedic surgery and had to do. It is very expensive!! Insurance covered 20 days I think, but after that the syringes were crazy money. Hope your RX covers it...it's not that bad, my son (12) used to give them to me, he loved it!

It's filled, should I get it?

Yes, between this and the blood thinners, paying for surgery, my kids can no longer attend college

My surgery is at 10 am in the morning!

      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?

      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... :(
