I recommend a compression top if you have bothersome incision pain. Good luck. Let us know how you're doing!

Best of luck on your surgeries, you've come this far. Chin up and just think how great you will feel after its over. My surgery is on Dec 7th since my insurance denied it the first time. God is good and they finally approved it.

Good luck tomorrow. You'll probably feel lousy the next few days, but you'll rebound quickly!!

Good luck, remember recovering from surgery is only temporary. You'll be back to 100% in no time.

I had surgery on the 2nd. My advice is to drink small sips of Water every two minutes (set s timer on your phone) and get up and walk as much as you can. The shower made the biggest difference in how I felt. Trust your team and keep us updated! Best thing I have ever done for myself.

      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?

      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! 😞
