Glad you are doing well!! And thanks for sharing your story and pics! You really have put me at ease and it's great to hear from a nurse her expeirience!!

Thanks kansasgirl! I had already watched your videos when I was trying to finalize my decision! They where very helpful and really made me feel like I'm making the right decision!!! Your profess is awesome and such a motivation!

I'm scheduled with dr ponce on 9/27! Super excited. I've heard nothing but good things and trish has been wonderful!

Awesome!! You can really tell! How much have you lost?

So glad you are feeling better!!! Hope the rest of your journey is a breeze!

Hope you are doing well!! Thinking about you today!

Let me see if I can explain without drawing a picture. Hard to do with words! Lol!! The white is the barium you drank. It goes down like a column and feeds into the stomach. Which has some black at the top because there is some air in it. then empties into the duodenum or first part of your small bowel which looks like a "c". Your stomach looks bent because that is an oblique picture. Your partially turned on your side. Hope that helps! Wish I could draw a pic and label it! Lol!!

So excited! I finally made a decision and booked with dr ponce on sept 27th. I figured I better book it soon before I chickened out! Lol! This is something I have been wanting/needing to do for a long time. I've done tons of research and really feel like this is the right thing for me. Now if I can just convince my friends and family that think I'm crazy!!! ????

I'm flying in on the 26th for surgery with dr ponce on the 27th!!

You rock that surgery cap!

Good luck!! I'll be praying for ya! Looking forward to hearing all about it!
