Choosing new procedure; not worth complications

Ms Lisa

I've lost 32 lbs. and feel great. I can eat anything except sweets. They make me nauseated. I eat about 25% or less of what I did before. I do have reflux but I had that before the surgery.

Ms. Lisa in the upper left hand side of this message box it says my name MP8BTPC. There should be a funny little icon next to my name. Left click on it and it will let you choose from a drop down box to send me a private message. When someone responds back a pop up alert will come on screen telling you that you have a private message and asking you if you want to open it. If you are logged off it will pop up the next time you log on. You can access your in/out box at any time by using the link at the very top of the webpage under you log in name that says YOUR NOTIFICATIONS. Drop that down and you can choose unread private messages and look through your inbox. From that screen you can click over to outbox and see what you have writtten. I will send you a message to help ya out :)

Good luck to you. I too am a single parent with three kids, having been widowed three years ago. I was very concerned about the risk of complications and the fact that if anything went wrong, my children could be left without any parents. Fortunately, I did not have any complications and here I am just two months later and down just about 70 lbs. Keep researching all your options and I am sure you'll find the right procedure for you.

      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!!
