My surgery is right after yours (on Monday). I'm getting really excited and nervous as well. It's like a roller coaster of emotions.

A lot of the advice I've gotten is to walk walk walk as much as you can right after surgery. I just hope that I won't be too loopy and out of it after surgery.

I've also read not to over pack because a lot of people don't even use half the stuff they take to the hospital but I over pack every time I go anywhere, it's just what I do.


Where are you having your surgery done?

Yeah I walk usually 1-3miles depending on how much time I have. Yeah I am not over packing.

I am having my surgery done near monterray mexico. It's a 7 hour drive but I have a friend and 2 family members going with me.

GOOD LUCK!!! Yeah I just hope it goes well too and not much pain I'm a baby I'd admit. My friend went with the same doctor and she told me she didnt feel pain just like she had a ball in her stomach.

      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! 😞
