Hey guys my surgery was Dec 24th I made it by sip, sip, sip, sip, constantly. I stayed very busy and did not let myself think about it. I keep telling myself one-day-at-a-time. :hurray: YOU can make it.

Hi Leslie, I have not hear from my surgeon either but it is the holiday and I assume that I will hear from them soon. My surgery was on Dec 24th so we are in this together. I live in Dallas and would love to chat with you. My skype ID is jpward001.

Dr. Sina Matin was my surgeon. 14 days out from surgery I weighted 323lb day of surgery I weighted 305lb so I had a bit of a head start. Had surgery Christmas Eve, Christmas day was ok got to be with my 4 grand-kids as they opened gifts. Got home about 8pm, spend day 2 in bed. Feel great today and want to start walking but it is raining outside so I guess I will have to stay inside. Found out yesterday that my son-in-law did not pick up my pain meds and I was only taking the nausea meds. I did fine but wonder how much better I would have felt with a little bit of pain med helps. :laugh: My daughter had the same surgery Dec 26th 2007 and she has lost 132lbs she has only 30lb to go. She looks like a new woman. I am so proud of her and hope I can do as well. She bought me a goal weight outfit in size 14 as a Christmas present it is gorgeous and looks very small :hurray:. My family has always been over weight and we were always rewarded with food.
