I had my surgery on Friday the 13th. The first night was tough finding the right meds to manage the pain and I also had a Migraine. I was also nauseous and vomited a lot. It was a rough night.

The next morning my doctor adjusted the meds and I have been doing well ever since.

I came home from the hospital yesterday. And I am doing well with the normal aches and pains.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey ladies - I’ve been absent a few days and way behind. My dad’s health has deteriorated and he’s been put in hospice. Just spending all the time I can with him and supporting my mom.

I’ll try and check in as I can.

Hey all ... had surgery on Tuesday to remove my band and possibly convert to sleeve. My scar tissue was way too much to do the sleeve and they had a lot of trouble getting the port part of the band to budge out. Post op pain has been horrible. Considering how much they had to manipulate the larger incision to get the port out, I’m suffering more than the usual patient. Not sure I still want to go through with the sleeve and have a fourth surgery. I am healing and recovering though and the freedom of no pain or acid reflux from the band has been great though!

Paperwork is officially submitted for insurance approval. Fingers crossed and if anyone has any extra patience to get me through the waiting, send it my way!

So tomorrow is the day.

😬😬😬

Just got my arrival time of 9:30am. Totally overcome with nerves. Wondering what the hell I am putting myself through. But I’ve got so much time and effort invested in this. I’m sure these are just pre-surgery jitters.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
