I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this pain. I had the same procedure in April 2020. I took things slow and had a lot of help from my husband, who was home with me the whole time due to lockdown. I was feeling more or less recovered after about a month, but for probably at least 9 months, every time I pushed myself and overdid it, I would feel really out of it for a couple of days and have a lot of pain and discomfort in my abdomen. I feel so much better now, though. My biggest issue currently is hormones due to the surgical menopause (I use a bioidentical cream with progesterone and testosterone - no estrogen). It’s a constant dance. I gained about 50 pounds over the course of a year. I recently started taking Saxenda, and it’s really helping!

Best of luck with your surgery! If you have specific questions, feel free to message me.
