Yay!!!!!!! I am out of the hospital and now at home!!!!!! So happy! Still have a drain in my side for a few more weeks, but that's ok! Happy to be with my husband and all my fur babies! plus even after all the hospital fluids I weighed in at 198 this morning! Starting weight for journey was 229, sw 214.

Yes, I have. I think it has to do with positioning during sleep. I'm 19 days out and still can't sleep through the night. I have not been able to comfortably sleep on my side. Which sucks for a side sleeper. It does get better day by day.

Happy Easter to All!! I know for us March Madness peeps there will be no indulgences. But I am more than happy to give it all a miss, as I am so happy with my constant weight loss.
I have had zero dumping and want to keep that going.
Saw all my friends yesterday, and so glad that no one said anything about my surgery. But it was relatively easy not to have that beer or Snacks that everyone else was having.
All the best to those April surgeries. Let the losing begin.
Cannot wait to follow everyone's progress and compare notes/results next March (2014) and to share our experiences with all the new March surgeries.
Have a wonderfully blessed day.

Yay, finally found the March post op group. How is everyone doing?
I am so happy the weight is falling off, at just over half a pound a day, which is not that fast but it is amazing and so easy. And think I'll be happy with this speed.
I am trying to keep active and eat properly, and all that. And it's been amazing.
Today is the first day I see my friends after my surgery. FYI I have only told 2 of them. So I am assuming that a lot of them do know, just have not said anything. So we will see what happens in the afternoon.
This operation has been worth every ounce of weight I have lost. And would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about losing weight, and has battled for years.

I'm new to this forum and wanted to joing the March group! I had surgery on March 20. So far things are going great!
For all the nervous people - my experience was so un-nerve racking leading up. I walked in to the operating room, chatted with the anesthesiologist, the surgeon. Luckily I felt relaxed and I think it really helped me. Just take a few breaths and know that everything will be great!

I finally passed gas today and OMG it felt amazing lol

10 days post-op and I finally pooped!!! Lol it feels like such an accomplishment.

I'm home!! My surgeon was hesitant, but he decided I could go. I'm super tired, and FULL!!! I've been trying to walk a little here and there, but I've decided it's nap time. Just wanted to check in with you all, and wish the best for every one pre and post op!

Hey everyone! I'm about 14 hours since my surgery. Pain is bearable. I think i fought nausea more than anything. Lots of Zofran and Phenegren. I'm so happy to be done! I have a Blake drain and a g tube. Left incision under my breast hurts the most. Doing my deep breathing and coughing and anti blood clot exercises. Thanks for you prayers and you better believe Ill return the favor. Hugs to everyone!! Blessings to the who go in today.
