Surgery is not the easy way out. I didn't have that kind, I had two c-sections and gallbladder removal and the recovery is no joke. You're looking good, I am so proud of you!! Pay those "gym Sayers" no mind

[@FayeInTheCity]

Thank you!

[@foziaa1459]

What was your recovery time for gallbladder surgery? I am so afraid to have it done. Have multiple gallstones and had a terrible attack end August 2020 which sent me to the ER. Lost 30.8lbs in a month and still continued but I managed to stabilise at 58kgs.

[@ticiam7962]

@@foziaa1459 unfortunately I didn't have a "normal" recovery. I ended up with a fever that lasted for days and had to stay in the hospital. It wasn't the hospital fault or anything, body just don't handle surgery well. Normally it's a one day thing. You get it done you go home the next day. They do laparoscopy so I think that's why the recovery is much shorter

[@ronisharichards1338]

That gallbladder surgery recovery was tough. My surgeon originally only gave me a couple of days off work. I had to beg for more time. I think he thought because I was young and had a sit down job, I was good. I was in so much pain.

[@ajlive6419]

Two different recovery’s. Those are way more painful than Vsg surgery. Ppl go back to work within days of vsg surgery.

I'm working on that, but like you I feel like this is one of the best things I've ever done. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. God bless, sis! You are so inspiring. 🙏🏽❤️

[@Tinahgirl83]

I can’t believe it’s been 8 months!!!! Walking is, scientifically, one of the best forms of exercise. You’re doing such a great job, and believe me, if I could afford it, I would have surgery as well. People act like losing weight is easy and it’s not, particularly when you take as much medicine as I do. I have MS and all the mess that goes with it, and EVERY SINGLE PILL has weight gain as a major side effect. I’ve been struggling with eating better just to stay at my current (overweight) size. There was a time when I wouldn’t have had weight-loss surgery, but I’ve never had a problem with other people having it. I just was too scared to be cut on. 😂😂
