@@395Ron How are you doing? We got the letter from your wife in the thread "anyone having surgery in Oct." about your complications. I sent her an e-mail but I bet it went to her spam since she doesn't know me because I haven't heard from her. Hope you are doing better! Miss the positive attitude from you!!! today is the last day of our October List of People! We had a total of 110. I think soon I will be spending more time on the Post surgery forum. Let me know how you are!Praying for you!!!

Hello, I live in Eagle Rock Mo. on Table Rock Lake. 15 min. north of Eureka springs. I'm about 1 1/2 hrs from Springfield. I had my surgery Oct. 8th 3 weeks ago, & doing great!! I had my surgery In Fayetteville with the Roller weight loss clinic there!! Very happy I did it! and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be! I started the October list of Surgery's thread in pre -operation & there is a lot of good info on there, also good info in anyone having surgery in October thread. Best of luck to you, I don't think you will regret it!!

Hello TyTy! Glad you are better today! It's so much better at home for some rest!! I still think sometimes did they actually do anything! But still no hunger & if I hadn't had it with as little as I'm eating I would be starving!!!

Wishing you luck!

You will do great!!! Excited for you & you will look back & be so glad you did it! Today is 3 weeks for me! And still very glad!

My doctor said to wait 2 weeks to try the premier shakes, so you might try again later on. He only wanted me to use the bariatric shakes like unjury those 1st 2 weeks, probably because of the sugar.

Good question, I haven't tried it, but I know it has a lot of sugar in it but not sure if that would bother us!

I'm having a bad day today too!! Didn''t get enough water & protein in yesterday, so headache & no energy today! Trying to make up for it today but it isn't easy! Sending you hugs & hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Well it can't be almost the 28th!! Best of luck tomorrow! We will be praying for a good outcome! @@Tina1969 @@ImBringingLisaBack RNY

Good to hear & I bet your puppy missed you!!!! I bet you will get better everyday!!!

We hope so!!! :-) I suspect as we all arrive on the other side of this we will be spending more time in the Post surgery section on here!! Best of luck & be sure to let us know how you are doing!!

Im doin great....yes im 7days post op.....just still trying to figure out my eating schedule....i mean i feel perfectly fine i take in.the right amount of protien and fluids with no problem....but i still feel hungry sometimes is that bad? Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk I didn't feel hungry but I wanted to taste something different, or chew. You may be feeling thirsty. Glad your getting everything in thats a big hurdle that some have a hard time with.

Glad your doing well! Its amazing how a surgery that sounds so painful is less than expected, thank goodness!!!

I'm so glad they caught it, but I'm sure your a little disappointed! Time is flying by, it will be here before you know it!!

@@Cali_Angel We are thinking about you!!! You will do great!

So good to hear!! Its amazing isn't it! I was so worried before mine. Nothing like I expected! I didn't sleep before surgery & only 2 hrs in hospital, so by the time I got home I was exhausted!! You will be too. Then the boring sip sip sip starts!!! Sounds like you got this!!!

Glad your doing well! Just remember to take little tiny sips when you do get something to drink, I'm sure they will probably remind you.
