Hi everyone. Today is 1 week since surgery. I feel fine except I'm still sore & a bit black & blue near my port incision. Has anyone experienced that? I've lost 20 lbs. Lost 6 lbs since surgury, 20lbs so far including the liquids I was on 2 weeks prior to surgury. I get my 1st fill 3/10/05.

Way to go Cutz, It sounds like everything is healing up well & the weight is going in the right direction!

I hope to be joining you in a month or so hopefully.. keep us posted on your progress.

Sorry I can tell you about the port area- But it sound perfectly normal from all I have studied.

Congratulations, Cutz! I think the port incision bruising is normal. Mine looked pretty nasty for a couple of weeks, but it will get better.

Congratulations on getting your band and on the 20 pounds that are forever gone! You'll be back skiing and scuba diving before you know it....and enjoying it so much more! They really bang us around when we get our band. The bruising, swelling, aches, and pains get better day by day.

      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! 😞
