Question to you all



Recommended Posts

I have had some minor complications, if you could even call them that. Mostly just my body and I learning to get along again in a different nutritional enviroment.

I would do it 100 times again. Honestly.

Would absolutely do it again. My first two months were hell - but I'd never want to go back to that kind of hopelessness and constant trying of the past. Happy I had it done, and have sent my brother & my best friend to Dr. Aceves.

I'm down 50 pounds and can focus on something besides my weight!

Hi bigdd,

I guess you are in Mexico having your surgery today. I am sending prayers and good wishes. I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Alvarez also on Dec 8th so I am really looking forward to hearing about your experience. Take Care.

Hi Lucygoose

Bigdd had surgery today at 9 a.m. and was back in the room by 10:10, he has pretty much slept the afternoon away but woke up around 4:30 -coherent. He says so far he is in no pain. The nurses are 100% nice. Tomorrow he is to get up and start walking. The Dr's and the Anestesiologist are also very nice - :) :thumbup:

That is awesome. Tell him hi for me, we PM'ed each other a lot when he was in his waffling stage a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait till it is my time next month.

      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!!
