Oh Ruthie,

I am so sorry for your loss and hope the traveling goes well for you.

This time last week, I was being banded. I thought I was just going to die the first few days afterwords. But I have to tell you that the excitement is back. The looking forward to weight loss and gaining health. Since I started my pre op diet 3/10 I am down a total of 27 pounds:thumbup: and I'm really starting to feel good and feel good about myself. I'm not experiencing very much pain at all and I think the gas is gone....I've "pooted" my fair share in the last few days....lol

I go to my first post op support group tonight and I'm looking forward to it. I intend to make these a regular part of my life..."my aftercare"...I have my first post op appointment next week and then 4 weeks til a fill. I can do this!! I really can...I wasn't too sure a few days ago, but now I'm feeling that this is awesome....

HUGS TO ALL OF YOU

Take Care,

Meg

Hi Everyone, Can you believe a week ago today we were having surgery? The week has really flown by fast. One more week on the liquid diet then it on to pureed foods. I can't wait. I have lost 17 lbs since the pre op diet. I'm feeling fatigued but don't have much discomfort. I've been walking at lunch everyday this week. I can't wait to get my energy back. Hope everyone is doing well. Keep up the good work. We can do this y'all.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
