Not far. I'm from WV. Having my surgery Wednesday in Huntington.

I did it y'all. !!! I made it I'm on the other side

I had my surgery yesterday and was released home this afternoon. Except for the continuing gas issues and the pain when I try to use my abdominal muscles, and the Dr. had to repair a large hiatal hernia while inside, I feel great! Now starts the hard part - the post-op diet!

That is all.
????????????????????????

So i finally did my before and after photo and thought i would share. i had my surgery on 6-4-15 and have gone from 391 to 280 in that short amount of time. I must say its been a real journey but so glad i made the choice to do it.

we all know it has no nutritional value but many of us are still going to want to enjoy a drink now and then.

well guys things are going pretty good. Although i did end up in the E.R. with side pain and found out that i will need to have my gallbladder removed due to the rapid loss of weight.Im currently at 280 from 391 so still losing but it has slowed down a bit. Thank you all for your comments

Tubabudha I'm in Catlettsburg, ky. Very close. Going to kings daughters hospital

Good luck on Wednesday! Let us know how you do.

Everyone, PLEASE remember this one phrase. Walk and sip. Walk and sip. It will hurt. But it will be worth it.

Feet and ankles always hurting.

Today is 3 days post surgery. Doing better taking Tylenol with codiene once yesterday for the ride home and about one hour ago. I am in recliner at home just get up to walk and go to bathroom. Took a shower this morning and it went well. My mother is here and this has been my salvation. She does everything and more to help me. Like cooking for my husband washing clothes and fixing all my shakes. When my back starts to ache from lying on it too long i sit up in recliner without my feet up. Its good to change positions often. Walking is also part of my routine. I am doing my incentive spirometer several times in a day. I always have some Protein drink for me to be constantly sipping so I can get my fluids in and protein at the same time. Keeping track in log book. I can get up by myself go to bathroom by myself showered by myself today is better than yesterday. The anesthesia took longer to wear off on me, i asked why and was told the procedure lasts about 2 hours so the exposure to the anesthesia is longer than when i had my gallbladder out. I am not hungry at all. Watching movies and other recorded shows and sipping all day long. Abdominal binder still on. Good luck to everyone still going to surgery in August.

I'm usually pretty isolated anyway. I don't seem to find "chasers" just a bunch of kids looking for muscle bears.
I got a call from the nurse that my insurance company sent a denial letter. Insurance is so frustrating

I don't think my guy wants me to have it. Been with him for years. We're not intimate anymore. I guess it's been open for a couple years but I feel just single.
I wonder if I'll be turned off by guys who will want the thinner me when they didn't want the heavy me.
