Recommended Posts

Congrats! I had mine done 13 days ago. I feel really good. I am back to work. Down 23lbs!!! You can do this. You will be tired for the next week or too, but you will perk up and do great! Try gas x for the back pain, it works wonders. Or a heating pad to the back works wonders too. Best of luck, keep us posted. Kelli

brownskin82 and hanna130 , welcome to band land it is down hill from here , u guys willbe fine once u get past the gas just keep moving around and the gas x did help me , but i have heard others say it didnt help.

I had my procedure on Oct 8 so it will be a month for me on in a few days I have lost 21 lbs so far and I am weighing 197 so I am happy it isnt much I see others loose way more but I am still happy I am walking and riding a bike for exercise , I am doing good, to all of u good luck on ur new journey!!

Congrats!

We, my daughter and I just had surgery on Oct. 30th. 5 days ago and the abs are barely sore if at all.

We are so excited for a new start on life. I am 45, she is 19. We both tipped the scales at 299lbs. We desperately needed the help!

Wish us all luck!

      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! 😞
