Hi, my name is Kristina and I just had the sleeve done here in Boise ID by Dr. Korn 3 weeks ago. I am doing great! I am only 28 years old but I have severe back prolems and have been on many pain meds for awhile now. I am proud to say I am off all my meds and down 20lbs already! The worat part of it all is the head hunger and smelling the food I cook for my family and then having to drink protien shakes and pureed food :( BUT...I know this too shall pass and it will be well worth it for my future!

Okay so I sent you a reply message butfor some reason I am not able to find it now lol. But again hi April! Its nice to meet you on here ;) just curious what is the RNY? I have heard some people talking about it but ot sure what it is the doctors do? Thank you! It definitely has not been easy at all but will be well worth it. Good luck on the surgery! I wish you a speedy recovery and lots of success!!! Thats funny we are from california! We moved here about 5 years ago for my husband's parents but I sure do miss cali!! Its gets boring out here and so so cold! But its better for raising a family and alittle cheaper but not much from where we lived in stockton. But I miss my family there, its such a battle trying to figure out where to settle but I think its time to take a trip out there and see what its like again. ;)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
