What's the go with catheter do you have one or not?

What was your hospital stay?

What was your operation time ?

Mine is expected to be 3hrs

My surgeon says I have to have a couple days in ICU after surgery because I have very seriously uncontrolled diabetes hence 1 of the reason for surgery because nothing else will control it as well as weight loss will all medications aren't working.

Is there much scaring involved ?

Hey there, I am one week post-op.

A little background: I am 31, my BMI was 41, and I did not have any obesity-related diseases. So our cases may not make for good comparison.

What's the go with catheter do you have one or not?
I did not have a catheter.
What was your hospital stay?
About 30 hours. I walked almost immediately after waking up in my hospital room.
What was your operation time ?
I was told it was about 35 minutes.
Is there much scaring involved ?
Can't answer this one yet. I have 5 incisions: 2 are about 2"-2.5' long, the other 3 are less than an inch.

I did not, or if I had one, it was gone by the time I woke up.

What was your hospital stay?

Went in Wednesday morning and was discharged by Thursday afternoon (dependent on passing leak test and then being able to keep some food down)

What was your operation time ?

Under an hour

Is there much scaring involved ?

I have 5 incisions: the main one is about an inch, the others are about a half inch. They are still a little red at 12 weeks.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
