Congratulations, Patty. Do you mean cause of the laproscopic incisions that you look like you've been shot? That advice about walking around the house was good. Take it slow & you'll do great!

Yes, Karen, I meant the lap incisions. I had my gall bladder out lap about 10 years ago and those scars cleared up nice, I am sure these will too.

Welcome to our world! I am so happy for you! I am so thankful I had the surgery done and that God provided the wisdom for them to make this wonderful new tool to help me lose weight. You will be sore for a while, but this too shall pass. Take it easy and please do exactly as the doc ordered on the diet and exercise, it is so worth it. I will keep you in my prayers that you will heal speedily. Take care!

I feel pretty good. My stomach hurts when I stand up, but I think that might be getting better too.

I keep walking around in circles, I have a really small house, its way to icy for me to venture walking outside. I would never be able to get up if I fall!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
