Had a preop test today..weird results..



Recommended Posts

So I had my upper GI done today, YUCK! not fun! And as I'm drinking down the chalky stuff, the doc comes in and is like"whoa! This is going to be fast, this stuff is going right through you! Most people it takes an hour or up to three hours to get as far as mine got in 10 minutes! When I told them what kind of surgery I was having, she's says no wonder you are overweight, you eat too much b/c food doesn't stay in your stomach for long at all, you must always be hungry! It goes right through! Needless to say she wasn't kidding, I was passing the stuff before I left the hospital, they said that would happen for a day or so. Does this sound strange to anyone? I thought it was quite interesting. What were your tests results like?

Wow, I've never heard any thing like that before. I wonder if its a genetic thing or something else. I'd like to know how things progress for you, so please check back in with us.

      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! 😞
