how my African American sis. I'm home now and resting. my doctor said everything went fantastic. I am in some pain but that's to be expected. not bad as a c-section. it's about the same as my hysterectomy.

Hey people, I am 3-days post-op! 8/19 and feeling good. I am getting my fluids in taking anti gall stone pills and prilosec along with all liquid vitamins from C, B-Complex, B-12, multi, hair nails skin, Calcium caltrate among other things.

What's puzzling to me is I havent read anyone else discussing giving shots 2x to the abdomen after surgery. They are blood thinners but I was terrified but I did it. So happy.

HW: 285

SW: 270

GW: 160

I got the shots too. Was bruised like crazy afterwards.

Hi my name is ladyRider, I had a lap band for 5 years, with a bad outcome. I started my process in may of 2013. I jumped through all the hoops. Was denied by my insurance at first re submitted and was Approved the 2 nd time. My sleeve date was August 19,2013 almost two weeks out, lost 15 pounds ( I think it's all the food my body has been holding on to) feeling good, one day at a time, slow and steady

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
