After a long 7 months and a few issues with the surgeons office I finally got my date! October 29th. Surgery at Noon but have to be there a couple hours in advance. Just glad this is finally happening for me.

Well I am officially on the other side!! Anybody else?

Me too!!!Things went well,ended up getting too much morphine so My o2 says went down. Better now I am staying overnight because I had a little travel. It was not as bad as I thought these darn old gas pains ugh,

How did you do?

I am feeling good actually. A lot better than I thought I would. I wouldn't really call it pain more of a discomfort. I sleep a lot of the hour and 45 minute drive home laid back in the seat. I woke up a few times and it was hardly hurting but when i would move or take a sip of water the discomfort would creep back up. My surgery was at Memorial Hermann SouthEast in Houston...GREAT STAFF.... Very caring, patient, nice and made me feel comfortable at all times. I am at at my parents house now relaxing. Going Going to get up in a few and move around.

Congrats you guys, I hope you heal fast!

Hey everyone!!! Good luck tomorrow!!! I am scheduled for 10/30 so I will be bringing up the rear!!! I got lucky and wasn't required to do a pre-op diet so I have been enjoying this weekend!!! See you all on the other side!!!

Glad to hear it went well Sammy. I did ok too but woke up in a lot of pain and discomfort. I've had two "uncomfortable" attacks but made it through. Hubby put heating pad on my stomach and on my back plus taking my pain medicine. It is not as bad now

My surgery was at 8:30 but they probably didn't take me back until 8:45. I was home by noon!

So glad you are doing well. They told me I was a "Go Getter" and doing abnormally well lol. I have a high pain tolerance though. Gonna write my Surgery Day blog entry Wednesday Morning if you would like to see how my full day was. Blog address is in sig.

Hey 29ers! How is everyone doing? I started having gas pains for the first time today. Little bit discomfort where they cut me but other than that I am surprised of my recovery

Any updates?

Hi! I had my BOB (band over bypass) open! Since my rny was open the scar tissue made this be open too. I was in the hospital 4 days. I feel like I have bounced back pretty quickly. I am down 22 lbs (including preop liquid). My surgeon doesn't do a fill until February and I feel like I can eat a good amount actually so I am worried I am going up hit a brick wall.

Hi I am doing OK having trouble with tightness with my band even though I dont have any fill. Im having periods where my stomach feels like its sitting in my throat and I start sliming. One night I slimed all night ugh it was gross. So they dont know what to do with me and Im back on mushies. Oh and exercise actually relieves it weird. I am down about 30+ lbs that including preop and I started a couch to 5k last night.

How about you??

I've been doing pretty good. Down 22 lbs. I received my first fill November 27th. It was great the first 3 days but now I feel as though I need another but am not scheduled until January 7. Although I am only down 22 lbs I have lost many inches. I stay in the gym a lot and its something I actually love to do. Looking forward to the green zone LOL glad everything is going well for you!
