Oh my gosh, that's awesome! It must feel so great to already be seeing a difference. I am SO excited for you! And a teensy bit jealous! :biggrin:

Are you taking pictures and keeping up with your measurements?

Wow, I am just so happy for you. :cool2: I can't wait till I am in your position -- knowing that the surgery is over and things are just going to keep getting better and better. Are you on a liquid diet right now?

I am SO happy to hear you are through surgery! Sorry you had a tough time, but it's really encouraging to hear that you are already feeling so much better. (Especially for those of us who are pre-op!) I hope you'll keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely discuss it with them. I've been on here all day, and I am getting more and more excited about having the procedure done and getting on with the rest of my life!

Can someone explain the pain the shoulder thing? I am new here and this is the first I have heard of it.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your questions, as I am also pre-op. However, I have a question for you! What's th Protein powder you are using? I am severely lactose intolerant, so i am looking at using one that is soy based. Would love to have a heads up on what someone has found.

I'm so excited for you! :scared2: Let us know how it goes. I am very curious, as I will be getting surgery before too long and I would love to know what to expect.

Hi, all. My name is Cyndi and I am new to this whole thing. I actually joined this board quite a while back, in order to learn about the procedure -- then I became inactive and haven't been back. I was considering whether or not I wanted the band or bypass surgery, but I made my decision and I am SO happy with my choice.

I still have three appointments in various clinics before I can schedule the appointment where they will set my surgical date. I am just waiting for the appointments to come. I still have a psych eval, an appointment with the pulmonary clinc (I have a lung disease) and I have to attend a class.. then I am on my way! Yay! I am nervous, nervous, nervous though.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about digestive problems after surgery. I have panic attacks, which can be triggered by... :scared2: well, there's no nice way to say this... when I have diarrhea, it can cause adrenaline surges, which then result in panic attacks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they had a lot of problems with this? If so, then how long until it passed? It's the only thing I am really worried about.

Does anyone else on here have panic attacks? If so, you might know where I am coming from, and I would love to talk to you!

Thanks, in advance, for any input you may have. Have a great day.

Cyndi

I can't believe they charge so much for a fill! Is it a complicated procedure? I guess I am imagining something pretty quick and simple...

Congratulations for starting so soon after surgery! I haven't had surgery yet, so I couldn't tell you with any authority... but I think it's awesome that you are so motivated!!!

I just talked to my doc about surgery, for the first time. It's something that I have been thinking about for a long time. We're starting the process. :cool2: So, maybe, someday you can tell me all about the process.
