Wish me luck....I'm drowning in all the Clear liquids I had to have to day. Hope to sleep tonight and not spend it in the bathroom. I have to leave my house at 5:00 am for the 7:30am surgery. On Saturday I am off the Old Orchard Beach in Maine for a week of resting in front of the beautiful ocean. Will post when I get back. Thank you to all of you. You have made waiting much more bearable and your posts were great to read. Pix were so great!

Thanks.....

Robyn

I love Maine! We have gone there the last two summers for vacation...not this year, but it's been a different kind of summer. So, Band Buddy, we are on the edge of the cliff! My surgery is one hour after yours...8:30! Good luck, I'll say a little prayer for you.

Just a post to let you know I made it through. Nothing ever goes as planned in my life. I suppose that is good for I love the surprises but not the oh ohs! My band procedure went fine but they discovered a hernia probably caused from a gall bladder removal last year. They decided to go ahead and fix it as it would cause more problems in the future. Then the biggest issue of all was that there was now to much liquid and bile from the liver floating around for the surgeon to feel OK about. They inserted a drain. Has anyone ever had one of those (XXXX)things taken out of their body. I wanted to roll over and die. UGH!. Well it is now day 3 and I am much better. Just slower healing than a regular band procedure. That side of me feels fine. It's the other side. I am only doing liquid extra strength tylenol because the percocet is hard to get down all chopped up with just a sip of Water. I delayed my trip to Maine. DH will come get me tomorrow. He took the kids up while I stayed at Moms for TLC. Doing fine on CIB and liquids. All clear for 2 weeks. I am so swollen still. My rings are tight and my feet and ankles are still swollen. Hopefully that will go soon. Thanks to all.

      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! 😞
