Well I'm back amongst the living. I was sleeved on the 9th and finally went home Friday evening. Had problems getting my HBP under control' date=' fever, vomiting, and because of my deep short veins - problems with iV. I have bruises ever inch of my arms, wrists, stomach, hands, and finally had to put them in shoulder. Having hard time trying to get Protein drinks n liquids in. I am improving everyday.[/quote']

Just wondering how long it took to get in the required fluids? I'm so nervous now and thinking about backing out the surgery. How is something like this good for weight loss, if one xan barely get in fluids just to come down on the weight can't this causes health problems too? I'm new please help me understand.

Hello All,

First let me say, Nice to see this post. I am African American, and its nice to know that i will be going through this Journey with follow brothers and sisters. :). I had a question, My surgeon had me do a test for H. Pilory and the test came back positive. The Nurse says that it is common for African Americans to hold this type of bacteria, and that it will be healed with a oral medicine take over two weeks. Has anyone else had this test done and it come back positive? If so have you had success riding yourself of the bacteria using the medicine? I'm a little concerned with the bacteria because they said it can promote stomach alcers, so its important to be rid of it before surgery.

Any one out there going thru this?

Thanks

Hi SigmaChefSpe,

H. Pylori is very common in a lot of folks and not just us...stop worrying, take the medication as ordered and it'll be past tense. There is enough to worry about here like what new outfit I'm going to buy when I get this wait off, or I'm going to look better and healthier after I begin my journey. How about I'm sick of this liquid diet but I shall prevail and do what I got to do!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
