So my surgery is tomorrow 17/1! I’m wracked with nerves right now. Hoping I can get a good night’s sleep and not be up anxious all night .

Any final words of wisdom are most welcome! Will be meeting you all on the loser’s bench soon!

Good luck! Bring an eye mask and earplugs for peaceful sleep if you have them. Expect a lot of waiting tomorrow, especially if you're not first thing - delays are common. You'll do great!

Thank you so much! The anxiety today is through the roof. Just waiting on the nurse to call me and give me my operation time :). Thank you for the heads up about all the waiting - that’s enough time for anyone to work themselves up into a stupor [emoji23]. Excellent suggestions regarding the mask and earplugs! I just packed them in my bag now, thank you! Xoxo

Bring lounge pants or PJ bottoms....it makes walking the halls in your hospital gown a lot less breezy:) Best wishes for a safe effective procedure!

I just burst with laughter [emoji23]!!! Reminds me of that episode of the Simpson’s when Homer’s hospital gown blows in the wind while he’s walking the halls hahaha. Thank you! I’ve packed some super stretchy lounge pants and bought underwear 3 sizes too big so I’m not constricted [emoji23].

Good luck. I hope you have a speed recovery. I'm a week from tomorrow and feel like it's taking forever.

      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! 😞
