  1. Ugh!! That's the worst, isn't it? Nothing like waking up to that massive whole head burning sensation.
  2. 7 days?!? That seems sooo fast to me..lol. I hope I can go back that quickly! Thank you for giving me more hope...
  3. That's awesome that you are back to work already. You must be doing really well with everything! Thanks so much!
  4. Thanks! That makes me feel a little less nervous about it...
  5. I have a hiatal hernia. I had my upper scope done and the Dr found it. He said he would repair it during my vsg surgery. Have any of you ever had this? I heard that it makes recovery a little more painful or difficult... just trying to hear from people who have lived it before me. Thanks in advance!!!
  6. Just wanted to update you all... I had the scope done today. They found a hiatal hernia, which the Dr is going to fix whenever I get my sleeve done. We were originally shooting for a surgery date of October 15th, but it looks like it will be later than that now... :-/ Anyone ever have a hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve?
  7. No fever, as of yet...I hope I don't get one. Thank you!
  8. Thanks for answering... I hope so. I don't want anything to delay me finally getting sleeved...lol.
  9. So, I have an upper GI scope scheduled for tomorrow morning. My Dr. scheduled it because I have really bad reflux. He wants to make sure I don't have any issues that would prevent me from having the sleeve done. So...to get to the point... I woke up with (what I think is) a sinus infection or maybe just horrible allergies... I am not fevered, as of right now. Do you think they will still do the scope? I know only the hospital/dr office will know for sure, but there isn't anyone in until tomorrow for me to ask. So, I figured I would ask you all.... *fingers crossed*
  10. You look sooo different! I'm so happy for you... Congratulations!
  11. You look so much healthier! It's crazy that you are only 2 weeks post op and you lost 50 lbs already .. Keep on keeping on...
