Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself. After starting this process back in November 2016, my surgery is now here. I have my surgery tomorrow and I am excited and anxious all at once. Hoping I can connect with people near me. I am in Cumming, GA and my surgeon is Christopher Hart at Atlanta Bariatric.

I had mine on May 22 and I'm feeling pretty darn good. I am sore but no pain. Like I did crunches. The second night was rough but still manageable. I had some nausea and did throw up. Honestly I expected much worse. You'll be so thrilled when you have this behind you! Best wishes and let us know how you did!

Yesterday went pretty well. I pretty severe apnea so my oxygen levels dropped low and freaked everyone out but besides that it went great. Been burping a lot. And for the most part all the gas is gone. @joann454 it does feel like I did a bunch of crunches. But I can live with this soreness. Only concern right now is that I am peeing ALOT. It started about every hour and now it's about every 2 hour.

Yeah, gotta love IV fluids! So glad it's behind you. It's just the biggest relief to be on the other side after all the build up. Congratulations on a smooth (ish) surgery. Now to heal!

      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! 😞
