I'm getting sleeved with Dr Avara June 14th! I actually went to a support group put on by SMSurgeons tonight! Crazy!! I agree! The staff there is so sweet and caring. I think that I made a good choice by going with them. I know you will do great! I can't wait to here from you and how you are doing! Are you from the coast area? I'm from Hattiesburg. Well, good luck and please, please let me know how you are doing!

wow thats awesome! im from gulfport.

wait till you meet the hospital staff they are just as sweet. a particular nurse there named kelly has been amazing at helping me to calm down and even put in some extra notes for the other nurses of my extreme fear of needles. theres also another lady in the lab named pam who just had the sleeve done too she was very sweet, assuring and told me alot of info as well.

ty for the well wishes i will definitely post info asap ^_^

UPDATE:

I'm in the hospital right now. Just got back from my first walk. First let me tell you guys I had major trauma twice as a kid with emergency stitches and I'm the biggest baby in the world. I cried thru everything but to be honest the IV was the worst part and it wasnt even that bad.

I keep thinkin theres no way i just had this done I'm not even in pain. It's like a cramp in my tummy but just WOW I'm extremely shocked. The Cough Buddy is awesome as well.. the only thing I don't like is having to cough.

I wish I wouldnt have told the aide I was dizzy because I wanted to walk alot further than they had me walk. lol

Thanks guys for the prayers n wishes, I really appreciate all the love. <3

      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!!
