Hey everyone just wanted to share a little bit of what happened with my gastric bypass surgery I had my surgery on 11/7 and had to have another one on 11/8 and stayed in ICU 4 days after yes that's right ICU and had to have two tubes put in me to drain the fluid's out of my stomach stayed in the hospital for another 5 days

Now am still recovering just got the last two removed 12/7

I am getting more energy every day and every day is better day and I'm just grateful that I am here to tell my story at first I wasn't feeling that I made the right decision but now since I am healing and feeling better it's okay it's okay I should be returning back to work in another week and a half so it's okay

Bless your heart! My surgery was the same day. Gastric bypass. Can't believe how good I felt.

Had a gastric sleeve 4 years ago and was miserable as hell from day 1.

Hope you to continue to stay strong and healthy.

If you don't mind my asking, what happened that you had to have a second surgery the next day?

Bless you! Glad you are starting to feel better.

Oh, wow! I'm glad they caught it and fixed it quickly. That could've been bad.

      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
