Yeah for you! See i told you you'd be fine regardless of the smoking thing. And you probably won't want to smoke now that you're banded! Sorry about having to deal with the guy next to you dying - that is very sad and would have really freaked me out. We will all pray for his family. Welcome to bandland!

Hey Linda!!!!

So glad everything went well for you, with the exception of you roommate, he and his family will be in my prayers.

So, you did it, it finally happened for you, I am so glad and proud of you for being able to go through with this. I know there were some scary moments for you in the beginning, but that's all behind you now and I will be looking for new pics on your webpage.

WTG, I am so happy for you, welcome to bandland, now you'll really know what it's like and not have to take someone elses word for it. Take it easy, remember, don't overdo, you still have anesthesia in your system and be careful about sipping, don't over do that or you will come to know the dreaded PB way too early in the game.

Thanks for letting us all know, I have been thinking of you.

Cindy

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
