Mine was concerned a little too, when I had my GallBladder/Appendectomy in 1983, instead of a Right Subcostal which was traditional in those days , I had a Right Para- median, just to the right of my navel, 3 inches above, 4 inches below, yeah anybody looking and I as a rule only flash it at medical personnel, can see the external manifestation but how scarred and adhesional- how do you like that word? I could be internally? Would it affect his trochar placements? Would my belly inflate with CO2 perfectly would I be lop- sided? But all went well , ended up with 6 incisions including one in the upper navel, the lower was taken up by my laparoscopic tubal ligation years ago. While I was still a little swollen it looked like my navel was trying to blow kisses, Weird City! But now, after 10 months they have become a part of Stretch Mark Land, unless you were familiar with his or another Bariatric Surgeon' Handiwork, you won't find them easily. The very few times I was peeved with him, I remember the initials are B.S., I chuckle and get over my Mental Temper Tantrum quickly!

Good morning, Fluffy! You were right, I did just fine I am officially 1 day post-op from gastric bypass. It's still hard for me to believe that I went through with it! I'm excited to begin my road to recovery and renewal! Thank you for your encouragement.

      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! 😞
