SW: 363 Cw: 302 I was not weighted after pre opt. 2/10 was my surgery date. I'm eating regular food in very small portions. Beef does not agree with my sleeve. My sleeve does like salad. Good luck to you all.

Hello everyone, I would like to find out if I'm the only one with this problem. I had my surgery on 2/10. Surgery was successful. When returning to work things seemed to be fine, until the stressors hit. I get pains in my chest. The pain is similar to the pain of drinking to fast. I also began to burp. A week after my surgery, I was stressed because of a family member and vomited. My line of work is very stressful, but in the past a walk or calm music would help. I have tried walking. I leave the office and walk, but as soon as I go back in the building the pain comes back. Anyone else physically feeling stress? Thank you all for your time and replies.

Spoke to my doctors office. They feel the pain is not related to stress, rather acid. I will be taking a test on the 10th to evaluate my digestion system. Thank you for your support. Nothing like having an experienced individual share your JOURNEY.

Thank you awold0. I really appreciate your help. Like you, I will have to change career paths. Its amazing how this surgery has changed my life. I noticed the stressors before, but never like this.

Yes, support is so very important. Thank you. I wish us all success. We did it .

Hey everyone, I have been gone for a while. I was sleeved on the 10th. I had my prayers, lip balm, and gas x ready. Lol. All I can remember was the recovery room. My blood pressure did spike a little. My surgeon said my liver was good and it was a nice sleeve. I live in GA, and left the hospital the next morning. We were snowed in and all I had was broth and popsicles. Lol. Today, I feel great. My husband took me shopping because I can't eat anything. Walking helped soooooo much. I was miserable before. I was able to walk today, and I feel like a million bucks. Let me be honest. Day 2 I cried alone due to regret. I finally shared it with my husband today. I asked myself, y couldn't I do this myself. I asked , what had I done to myself. I prayed for understanding. Today, my rainbow after the storm has come. This post is very long, I felt it would be selfish to not share my truth. I have a wonderful support system, and my husband has been great. Oh. Fyi. I am 35 lbs down from my last weight in before pre opt. I wish you all luck.

I'm on my diet and it is hard. I keep myself busy and have about 8 different flavors of gum. Lol. Let me be very honest. Im not hungry. I just dont like being restricted. I dislike preparing my husband and family meals. Well, it does keep me busy. I have been tempted to lick my hands a couple of times. Lol. I have to laugh about it. On the 10th, I will be going under and need to think positive. We can and will do this. With prayer and support, we can do anything.

Yes, I have noticed a lot February 10th dates. I'm very nervous. February 10th here we come. I pray for us all.

Thanks Jencovi

Anyone with constipation issues? What are you using?

14 days and counting. Liquid diet here I come. Dreaming a lot lately. Am I the only one?

You look awesome. Congrats

During my youth years, I was a average size. It all started during my college years. Found the love of my life and here came more weight. We had a son and I gained over 75lbs. I started my bariatric surgery journey in September 2013. I attended a information class and stopped smoking the next day. Currently, I weight 358, my highest weight ever. I dont even remember hitting the 300's to be honest. Obesity is real. Well next week is my final appointment with my dietician and my paperwork will be submitted. I'm excited, scared, and hopeful. I welcome any type of support or suggestions.

How did everything go? Has your paperwork been submitted? Wishing you the best of luck.

Congrats. You will do great.

You look awesome. Thank you for the inspiration.

Congrats. We have the same date.

Help....... The original tablets were too big. I decided to try Bariatric Advantage chewable, caramel. VERY gritty. Bad after taste. So I'm back to the large pills. I want to try the Critical petites. Has anyone tried these? Bariatric advantage agent suggested wild cherry chewable. If anyone has any suggestions please share. Thanks

Cala, the nutritionist gave me samples of the lemon and berry. I have been taking the Caltrate petites. Thanks.

I'm in Dallas. How far is Adairsville from Rome. The support groups are great. They are on the first Monday of each month. We can be phone and chat buddies if you like. The journey thus far has been interesting. Lol.

You just put a big smile on my face. I have had a great experience with Dr. Scott and his staff thus far, but this is my life. It helps to here a successful ending from someone who had surgery with Dr. Scott. Thank you for this awesome feeling. How is post opt? Do you attend the support groups? Do you have a weight loss buddy?

2/10 is my date. Pre opt diet starts on the 28th. Scared and excited all in one. Surgery with Dr. Scott in Rome GA

Thank you.

Dana that sounds great. Can't wait for you to get the call, that makes it official. Awesome.

Anyone scheduled for a February Surgery date? If so, who is your doctor? What's your location/hospital? Who is your insurance company? How long have you been on this journey? And if you would like a buddy? I'm 32 years old in GA. Dr. Scott will perform my surgery. Surgery date is 2/10. Location will be Floyd hospital in Rome GA. Aetna is my insurance company. They approved the procedure in 7 business days. I started my first information class in September 2013. I would love a buddy. Have a great day.
