Just got my date; July 30th. Happy but scared of surgery! The more I read about "complications" such as blood clots, I get a little afraid.

Talk these over with your surgeon. Mine gives me 20 days of blood thinner injections to do at home to avoid blood clots

I suspect I'll say ditto too, I bet Dr Needleman will put me on💉 Lovenox also. Remember I am also 72-- so age is also an increased risk. If I got to vote, I'd go for Xarelto, had it post both knee replacements, worked great and it's pills.😝

Mine too!!! It's coming so fast too.....My first appointment was less than a month ago. At least it's so fast that I don't have time to freak out too badly. But, still a little worried about the unknown.......

I’ve just been trying my best to focus on what to take with me to the hospital and not on what can go wrong. I had to do 7 months of pre-op visits so it’s given me more than enough time to think about everything. I’ve almost canceled twice!

mckenzie....

We all freak a little. I try not to think about what they will be doing during surgery. I have faith in my surgeon. And I know he will help me and take care of me no matter what happens later. Most do not have problems. If i made it through a open hysterectomy which i had cut opened then this is doable for sure. We are all in this together.

      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! 😞
