Had the same exact thing happen. I am losing again, but it is so frustrating! We can do this!

Oh man. That sounds horrible. I was also sleeved on the 9th. Hate to hear all the problems you are having. Are you on pepcid? I take it twice a day. I am praying that things go back to normal and you start feeling better.

I am 6 days out and I really want to poop. I have done milk of magnesia 2 days in a row and nothing. Is this normal?

.

Maybe tonight will be your night! Good luck!

@@Kgl24 I actually slept in my bed, all night long, best sleep ever. How is it going for you?

I am so thankful for my husband. So glad you have an awesome supportive spouse also. I feel better every day. I actually left the hospital the same day as surgery. I was 7 plus hours away from home so we stayed in a hotel the first night, then drove home the next day. We stopped every hour so I could walk around. I actually work from home and sat in the recliner with my computer and worked the last 2 days of this week. I did nap more than a few times and made sure to walk around at least every hour. I have yet to leave the house since getting home but we are planning on an outing today. I think getting ready will be good for me. I always feel better when my hair and makeup are done. I do have a traveling work trip in a week where I will be flying out of state and will be gone all week. I am a little nervous, but I do think I will feel much better by then, and know my limits. So if I need a break i will take one.
All I took to the hospital were my clothes and meds that were sent to me before surgery. I turned my phone off and my husband answered texts from family and friends checking on me.

I am with ya. I am so committed to not cheating. I have a friend that had the procedure 10 years ago and her advice was to not cheat for a year. She had surgery at the same time as 3 other friends, the ones that didn't cheat for a year have had tremendous success, the ones that did cheat never lost as much or have gained most of it back. That right there is all the motivation I need. My biggest complaint right now is that I cannot sleep. I am so exhausted, and I feel emotionally drained from the lack of sleep.

How's it going?
Anyone else have surgery around the same time? I have yet to sleep in my bed. I had hernia repair and sleeve.

I felt the same way before surgery. Just make sure you don't do it again. I am 5 days post op and I'm not hungry at all. My husband got donuts for my kids this morning and I had no desire to eat them. Stay strong, it will be worth it. I do think there will be times that I struggle and want something that is not okay, but I also don't want to be over weight anymore. You can do this!

I am so glad it is finally done. It has been a long time coming, but things moved quickly once I finally decided this is what needed to be done. I am still sore (had the sleeve and hernia repair ), and have yet to sleep in my own bed (I've been in the recliner) but I feel a little bit better every day. I started at 330, was 300 on my surgery date and have lost 7 pounds since surgery. I have had no complications.
Thanks for asking. I know you will all do great and we will all be each others biggest supporters.

Praying for all of you. I was sleeved on 9-8-15. I was an emotional wreck the entire day before. I basically cried myself to sleep, my husband was totally freaked out but was super supportive. You will all do great.

My total cost for everything, EGD, sleep study, surgery was only $1,450. I planned for around $3,000 to be on the safe side.

I am 6 days out and I really want to poop. I have done milk of magnesia 2 days in a row and nothing. Is this normal?

Had Surgery on September 8th! Good luck guys!

What is the cost with in network doing it hiatal hernia route? I have BCBS Tx and they said my part would be like $2,800 because I hadn't met my $2,000 deductible at the time of consult. I mentioned hiatal hernia route and they said it would add an extra $4,000 or so to the total. This is with the Nicholson Clinic
