  4. I had my surgery on a Tuesday also' date=' I was ok by friday but def not up for work, mainly because of the lack of energy. Give yourself the weekend to recover, you will need it! I wish u the best of like, please let me know if u have any questions!
  5. Today is my 2 weeks anniversary, 17 pounds down! Feeling great, recovery has been pretty smooth! 4 more weekd and i can start eating normal food yay!

  7. You'll do great! My doc says the plication is that little extra something the band was missing!
  8. Thank you so much for making this happen!

  10. Best of luck to u! Please keep us updated on how you are doing!
  11. The first day was hard for sure' date=' days 2 through 5 I would feel it here and there but no vomiting it quickly went away! I hope this helps!
  12. I think this is a terrific idea! Also in regards to your question about how soon after approval I got the surgery date: my doctor only operates Mondays and Tuesdays' date=' he literally got me in the following Tuesday . By the way today was day six and I feel great!

  15. Today is day 5 I still feel the nausea a little bit, but it goes away quickly. I haven't thrown up since day 1! I started having some yogurt and cottage cheese today it tasted great, I will have eggs for dinner and hopefully I can tolerate it! I'm so happy to have gotten the plication as I already feel restricted without a fill! I also didn't experience too much pain, other than the first couple of days I feel great! But then again I think dr Snyder is amazing and I talked to a few ppl that had the plication with him and they all say the same thing!
  16. Honestly' date=' he is the best! I have experienced very minimal pain, it is def not as painful as I had anticipated. I know that it's all thanks to him, I was really scared because of some of the comments but went on with it anyways and I am so glad I did. I lost almost 14 pounds just since the surgery which was on may 1st. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns...I know I was looking so bad to find someone that had gone through the same procedure but had no luck!
  17. OMG' date=' we're you in the recovery room right next to me? I was so miserable that day, coldn't keep anything down. But today I'm so much better! I'll message you my phone number if you'd like to keep in touch and motivate each other!
