had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday morning. waking up became a issue as i was not able to breath, they had to give me a double dose of the anti paralytic. but after that i was able to breath on my own, Went to my room to recover. Gas pains are no joke. walked around as much as possible. The stomach injections of blood thinners sucked. But i just got home and set to recover.

Good to hear from you. Glad you're doing okay. You only had to stay one night in the hospital? I had to stay two. Take it easy. Sip little sips of Water all day long. Rest as much as you want.

WHOA That is scary! I am glad you are ok and home.

They gave me my blood thinner shots in the back of my upper arm, like the ratty part.

Take is easy for a few days until get into the swing of things.

      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! 😞
