We sure do!! My name's Mandy, I'll be having surgery Friday in Houston! I think I might be getting the sleeve though. Last I spoke to my surgeon, he told me to think about switching since I'm currently low in Iron.< /p>

I won't get the time until Wednesday after 5:00. I go Wednesday to sign consent forms. Read them over- it is pretty scary but I feel like it is what I need to do. What time do you guys go?

I threw up this morning after taking a potassium ground up into a spoon full of sugar free chocolate pudding. Sitting here hoping I did not do any damage to my stomach. I am not going to re-take it, I will wait until my next dose and try again. I see the doctor tomorrow for a follow up. Hope things are improving for you. My nutritionist said it would be difficult reaching the Water and the Protein goals and not to worry too much just keep sipping!

Saw my surgeon for follow up appointment. The requirements are nearly impossible to meet the first few weeks. His advice was stay hydrated, take all of your prescriptions and try getting your Protein. Do the best you can but don't worry. It gets better. How are you feeling? I am more hopeful. Still some discomfort but better each day. Hope you are well!

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
