Hey Jody,

Sounds great!!! Have fun shopping!!! I've been told that I really need to "chill" or I could cause myself problems with my incision and healing. I brought several movies and books with me, so I'll try my best. Therefore it's up to you to keep the economy going for the next few days :wub::tongue::tt1:

I'll call you when I can and big hugs to you too!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi everyone,

I just got off the phone with Frangi. Of course you know she is doing wonderfully!! She said this one is more painful than the last but she sounded terrific! She went into surgery at about 9AM and woke up in recovery at 3PM. It took a bit longer than estimated but I am sure the results will be well worth it!!

I will keep everyone updated the MINUTE I hear from her in a day or two.

Thank goodness she is alright. Didn't really want to hear that the pain was worse though!

You know Frangi though, she said the pain was worse but still sounded wonderful!! The woman truly amazes me. :w00t:

Becky: hair is very cute. I especially like the color and you, fringe (bangs) are very in this year!

Okay, I'm stuck on the pain thing. I can't remember, if Frangi had muscle repair with her TT. Does anyone know? Cause, I'm hear to tell you that that was extreme pain! My ps is not ordering a pain pump for me this next go around, because it won't involve muscle. I hope the pain meds are good!

On another subject; I got a new hair do - less blonde and more bangs. What do you think?

Hi Becky -

Personally....I love the way your hair looks!:cursing: It truly enhances how "thin" your face really is.:w00t: It is wonderful!! I also just got a new cut and color. It is a good time for change!!:cool2:

Karey - Frangi told me that the morphine is helping but never mentioned a drip. If you want to give me specifics I can ask her when she calls again. She justs sounds terrific!!

Please pass on my best wishes to Frangi as well.

Karey - I had minimal muscle repair and had almost NO pain. My PS said the pain from the TT is mostly caused from muscle repair. She said with out the MR a TT is one of the least painful surgeries and I would agree. My lapband surgery was much more painful than my TT.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
