Good luck to everyone having surgery today! If I were smart, I would have done it after Christmas as well... but, thinking like that is what got me this way in the first place! [emoji38]

How neat that you are so far away yet still able to communicate with us. Yeah the sleeve is the same regardless of where you are. But glad to hear you are doing good. It gets better on down the road so I'm looking forward to that.

I was dec 5 as well.... since surgery I have lost 21 lbs. I have some tough Patches but doing okay. How have you been?

December 5th I would love to join :)

I've been doing Owkay. I'm from Mozambique, but currently studying and was sleeved in South Africa (Cape Town).

So the set of Vitamins that mostly people talk about here are totally different this side but the experience is the same at the end of the day,and that is why I joined this forum although I'm from the other side of the world :)

My surgery is in 2 days...December 30th. NERVOUS!

I was too, and honestly, when I finally woke up I thought to myself, what have I done? But it's been almost 4 weeks.... best decision ever!!

You will do just fine Christina, I was sacred and nervous too!!!! But I've had other surgeries before, and this was by far the easiest time I had. Just be sure to get up and walk as soon as you can after and continue moving around, so the gas doesn't settle, that's so uncomfortable !!!! My son (who is an RN at the hospital where I had my surgery) had me up and walking hours after. The worst pain I felt, was like I was kicked in the stomach or like I had done tons of crunches, but that was it, nothing major!!!

Hey everyone!!! I just had my bypass on the 22nd...although I was SUPER scared the worst of it for me was recovery (night of surgery) next morning was tolerable with some soreness! But I'm a week out and I feel AMAZING! (other than this horrible liquid diet ????)

      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! 😞
