I report to ambulatory surgery at 7:15 tomorrow morning. I am so ready for this 15 month saga to be over and for the next stage to begin. It has been a long haul but just several more hours and I can see where it goes from there.



Congratulations on making it through the 15 month saga!! Hope your surgery goes smoothly and recovery is quick!!

And a pleasure to meet you! I know the feeling. It actually seemed like the first week of my pre-op diet flew by. But the closer I get to the date, the more time slows down!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't gotten back with you all about my surgery but things didn't go quite as well as I hoped. I got to Tijuana at about 10 am and started the testing within an hour and because I was the second surgery I didn't go back until 6pm. When I cam out of surgery I really didn't feel to bad at all. Just the normal gas pains. But things changed on day 3 when I went for the contrast ct test where you drink it while they watch it go down. I did both it and the lay down ct but I could barely keep the contrast solution down. I literally felt like I was full to the brim and liquids are supposed to flow through easily. Anyways, I started vomiting and within a few hours I was vomiting straight bile. They immediately rushed me back to the OR, cut me straight up the middle and discovered that I had a kink in my bowel. I stayed in the hospital for 7 days and just got home yesterday. Every one of the usual small incisions were extended and stitched so I look like Frankenstein, lol. But I'm back on the mend now. It really was a one in a million situation and I don't want to scare everyone. But, stuff happens and the actual Roux En Y was performed perfectly. It might take me a little longer to heal up, but nothins gonna hold me back!

I am so sorry to hear this! I hope it is going to be an easier road from now on. My experience around the same time and the very same city was so different than yours. I am glad that you were able to stay positive!

I am doing pretty well...Got home on Sunday and I think I had trouble just trying to get the liquids down. Trying to stick to a menu so that I eat something on full liquids and not drink for 30 minutes to see if that helps.

I'm walking a lot and feel pretty good for 4 days post-op. How are you doing?

      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?

      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
