Hello, I had my surgery on 2/26 so I'm 8 weeks out as of yesterday. I had my surgery at St.Mary's hospital in Grand Rapids MI and Dr.Foote is my surgeon. He's a amazing dr....very caring, awesome bedside manner and just a great surgeon!

I haven't been losing weight super fast like some others but I didn't have a very high bmi. Since surgery day I've lost 45 lbs....I can't wait to get to my goal!

I have not had surgery yet. I have switched to Dr. Foote in Grand Rapids, heard so much great feedback about him. I have my appt with him and then the psych tomorrow.

Looking forward to getting on with surgery but because of summer vacations and plans, I probably won't have surgery til August 1. Bummer.

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
