I had my surgery back in July and everything went perfect, 1 night stay at hospital, only took pain meds for 2 day after i got home just to sleep and back to work 1 week after. I have no issue, no dumping etc.. the only thing is that everything at the beginning taste different. I purchase a ton of sugar free puddings, Jello, popsicles amd even the Vitamins and could and still can not stand them to sweet for me. Good luck message me if you have any questions

That’s great to hear from some who can relate to the same dr. I’ve heard good things about dr. Matei. I will be sending my papers in for approval next week let’s see how all goes. How much have you lost so far?

In total so far 37 pounds I am a slow loser but I am ok with that. I eat small meals about 4oz and that's it. but I have had chocolate and no dumping. The only restriction is I get full quickly, so at this time I only eat Protein. Good luck, keep me updated and if you have any question I am here.

I could lose more, need to start doing exercise. But I am at the stall everyone talks about. The good think no more high blood pressure meds, and feeling great. You are in good hands, the hard part is getting ready for surgery, and nerves. But after that it has been great. Good luck.

      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!!
