  1. I'm the 10th too my liquid diet started today and it's been kind of rough! But I'm tryin to Fight thru this mental hunger!
  2. Did u have surgery already??? If so how was it? I'm soooooooooooo nervous! you're the first person I share a surgeon with I'm so glad u responded!! I had my surgery (Gastric Bypass and Hiatal Hernia repair) 12/18/14 at DePaul. I have surpassed my goal. In fact he wants me to gain weight back. But, that is a whole other issue for me that I am working on with myself, Dr. Wheeler, Nutritionist and Counselor. Sigh Having said that, Dr. Wheeler is awesome! You will be very happy with him. Wow that's great to hear!! U must have really been working hard if u lost too much weight!! Hopefully I can say I lost too much one day!! CONGRATS TO U!!!

    Staples?

    That's wat my doc is going to use glue and strips! I didn't think the incisions were that wide to need staples...????
  4. Not sure about before but I was told to wait at least 6 months after so the acid production caused by chewing won't harm your healing stomach!

  7. I heard the shoulder pain was from the gas they use to blow up your abdominal cavity!
  8. Feb 10! I was so anxious at first but soon as I was approved I've been a nervous wreck ever since!!!
  9. Wow that was very quick! I don't no why I thought it was way longer I've heard ppl say their surgery took up to 4 hrs! I've watched videos on YouTube and it looks fairly simple if everything goes as planned!

  12. Thank u for the response it's very comforting!
  13. I'm getting sleeved on February 10 and I have to get my hiatal hernia repaired during my sleeve and I wanna know what was recovery like... Was there a lot of pain did it effect your sleeve in any way? How long was your surgery? Etc? Any info will be helpful because I'm sooooo nervous now that I've been approved... I was so excited and anxious at first but now I'm second guessing but I think it's just all mental and nervousness!
