Vera, I had a hyst. 2.5 years ago my uterus was literally falling apart. My dr left my ovaries because I feel the same way you do, if they ain't broke leave them alone!!!

Life after surg is GREAT!!!! Sex was better, I felt better, I looked beter ( i had not realized how bad I did look) I was a much happier person all around. If you had c-sections you already know about the recovery. I had a hard time because they also did the bladder surg at the same time. 3 vaginal births kinda make you need that one.....

any way, I'll be thinking about you Wednesday. I hope you got to go sking!!!

Thanks again for all the well wishes….how much does a uterus weigh? I’ve had 2 C-sections, a colon removal/rectum reconstruction, gallbladder removal and 2 band surgeries also the tubing fix attempt. I've got a road map down south, what’s another scar.

I did all my pre-op testing yesterday and I’m all ready for tomorrow. Since I was at Good Sam Hospital I cruzed over to Dr. McKeen’s office and scheduled a fill for Aug. 1st, exactly 4 months since being re-banded. While I was there they let me jump on the “Real Scale” It read 177.1 lbs and BMI at 29.9...that just made my birthday the best! I haven’t weight 177 in 15 years!

Paula I didn’t get up on skis yet, that’s still a goal.

I’ll post when I get home…

      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.

      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! 😞
