Surgery in the DR in December



Recommended Posts

My PS told me to have 'Realistic expectations' and I have held those words with me ever since.

I guess back then... I felt that nothing could be worse than the alien body I was left in with skin everywhere.

Luckily my PS gave me the world and more - He is amazing, a true artist. I shall be eternally grateful for the new me :-)

I don't know - Maybe not expecting to look like a 20yr old after so much damage had previously been done?

I am amazed that everything went so well for me and I am very glad.

I guess he meant to not expect miracles - But after he actually gave me a miracle is is hard to keep those expectations in check.

Unfortunately nobody can tell you what your surgeon will give to you - If you can find anyone else who has had surgery by them that might help - But everybody's body is also different.

Sorry I was not of more help. Here are some of my pictures I hope you can see them... As I said I had a fleur de lis - I did not have my muscles done in the op.

      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! 😞
