I'll be having surgery in July, not sure of date yet. A little terrified!!! I'm 53 yrs old (live in CA) and think recovery may take longer because I'm over 50 yrs old? I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping for early July, as the anticipation is rough! Can't wait for it to be here....

Push tosh, I am 72, an ornery spunky redheaded. 72 and I will also have a July date. I will have an RnY at OSU-Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio, no fears whatsoever, all of mine drowned a long time ago in my tears. Now I'm just moving forward , clear eyed , a spring in my step, not easy with 2 knee replacements, and hope in my❤. This is going to be a great wonderous day, indeed it will be my REBIRTHDAY and I hardly can wait!! Recovery may be longer, may be slower but I am a Baby Boomer, we do things with the class our Mamas instilled in us. Our weight,loss can and will be as good as the youngsters. If not, poof, it's still better than dying obese and in pain. I have lived this long and it is my intention to continue . Wanna hang around with me?🌟🚩😝🚩🌟

California girl here! I'm scheduled for July 11th and a little nervous as I'll be doing this on my own and in Mexico. Doing a lot of research beforehand so I know what to expect. Trying to prepare myself mentally for pain, nausea and heartburn. Hoping to make surgery buddies here too.

Good luck and good health to all of us!

Me too. The more you read on what to expect, the better. I've been following and reading several previous patients stories and write down important details and questions I should ask. I think that's important with every surgery.

Mdarnell, Start that diet back. Drink alot of Water to flush out the bad things you ate. I need to get back to lots of water myself. I have to watch what I am eating not to gain weight before surgery. I have NO pre op diet to follow. Its not required

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
