8/27 ladies, best of luck and speedy recovery! I wish I was close. I'm 2 months away as of tomorrow. I made my appointment in June and finally had my first doc visit the end of July and surgery on 10/28. I'm so happy for you all, keep us posted how you're doing!

I went in for sleeve surgery on August 29. Woke up in ICU. They couldn’t complete surgery. Said that I might have a tear in my esophagus. After 2 CT scans and having an ENT doc put a camera down my throat they still weren’t sure if it was a tear or just tissue. I have a small mouth and throat. Wondering if it was tore, did they do that during intubation? Going back Sept 23 to have surgery finished. Needless to say I’m nervous this time around. Have a had tubes hanging out of my stomach since last attempt at the surgery. Has anyone else ever heard of this happening?

      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! 😞
