@Nana E, what you are feeling is perfectly normal, I am about as informed on This subject as anyone in the Western World and I get colley-wobbles, can I really do this? I've talked the talk so long to all far and near, when it comes time in July for me to walk the walk, what if I stumble and fall? I've been so big and brave, will there be anyone to catch me or have I scared them off with my bluster and bravado? See, even big bad cowgirl get the blues! But like Martin Luther at the Diet if Wurms "Here I stand, I can do ought else". when comes to a bottom line I have made my choice, a good choice and I WILL GO TO AND GET THROUGH IT ALL! ❤, keep me in your,prayers, hope for,my the best and I shall do the same! ,your friend Frustr8

My surgery is on the 12th. My hospital won’t confirm the schedule until the day before. Which sucks a bit. I’d like to have more specifics :/.

But enough of my whining... I’m excited as the date gets closer. I donated a kidney to my sister laparoscopically in 2009 and the surgery will be similar. Gas pains were my only issue last time. My surgeon assures me that she has a technique to minimize that so I going into it without fear.

My biggest concern is adjusting to the restrictions of beverage and food amounts and making sure I’m getting enough. :/

From what I have heard this may be easier. I have always been told kidney surgery is much worse on the donor as opposed to the person receiving.. I am sure for your sister you will always be her perfect angel.💕👼

      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! 😞
