  1. Reyes i called you and left a message. Give me a call when you can.
  2. I am post surgery 28 days. I may have been one of the lucky ones but after only 3 days I would have told you that you were nuts if you thought I had gone through any surgery at all. I have had ZERO issues at all during these 28 days. It will be done before you know it and you will be dropping the pounds silly fast. I am already down 30 pounds including pre one week diet. The BIGGEST suggestion I can give you is to get up and walk as soon as you can and doctor allows. WALK WALK WALK AND REPEAT.
  3. Yes I love me some popsicles. They work great to soothe my stomach.
  4. I haven't gotten a response either. How are you doing? Four days into mine and Im feeling great! No issues at all. I am shocked!!
  5. Any update in your surgery today?
  6. I just took a few changes of loose fitting clothes, my toiletries, iPhone, ipad and some comfy walking shoes. Didn't really miss anything. My biggest recommendation is to get up walking ASAP. I did and I think I am reaping the rewards from it now. It may sound funny but if I didn't have soreness at the incisions sites I don't think I would have any pain at all. I have wierd rumblings in my digestive tract right now but as I heal that should get better. You will do great and it will be over before you know it. It really wasn't too bad.
  7. I just got home today from my surgery yesterday. It was rough last night but I feel pretty good right now. That week will fly by and before you know you will be where I was yesterday.
  8. Yes Im home and feeling pretty good.
  9. Sorry for late update. It went great but I almost wound up in ICU for my blood pressure being very high. They got that fixed but I will admit last night was rough. Im home now and kinda feeling sorry for myself for even doing this. But Im sure as soon as I can get all the meds they gave me out of my system I will change that attitude very quickly. I do fell a LOT better today. The doctor told my and I that my stomach was very elongated from the abuse I've given it over the years. If anyone has any questions I will gladly answer them.
