Hi just wanted to give a positive result to anyone on the fence. I CRIEDDDD until they put me to sleep, but my surgeon was excellent and he talked me down from my fears of dying on the table. I was told he removes as much gas as possible during the procedure, and I litterally had no gas pain it was amazing. However I did have bad pain at the larger incision spot. He said it’s because it’s like pulling out a premature baby lol. Two doses of morphine overnight and here I am day two slightly uncomfortable but barely no pain. They gave me Pepcid before the surgery and I believe that helped with the gas relief. I’m drinking with ease, can swollen my meds daily and absolutely no nausea or vomit, as they have been giving me zofran around the clock. I read so many stories from YouTube videos and was terrified. I’m blessed to have had such a good experience And a wonderful doctor. I have no regrets as of now. Best of luck to anyone in the process.

Congrats on overcoming and getting through it. You are very lucky to have such a great surgeon. Wish mine had this knowledge. My recovery was not bad but could have been better. Good luck with your journey!!!

      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! 😞
