I sometimes wonder was there anuthing done. I'm like maybe the stomach is still there n they are lying to me. I don't know how different I thought I would feel...how do u feel when u eat. Mind u I started full liquid today n felt tightening n constriction...I'm guessing that's not normal

My doc told me its normal cuz there is swelling and healing going on. I'm on purees and sometimes it still hurts to eat. Drinking first thing in the morning sometimes hurts. Last week I had a golf ball feeling in my stomach when I drank. My doc told me that would go away and it has. Everyone heals differently. Some people feel no pain when they first eat or drink. Everyday gets a little better

I actually went to Dr. Salameh...why?...because he was the only one who took care credit ;) but he was a great choice! I work at the Crime Museum. If everyone wants to get together one day we could all meet at my museum and have a meet up! It might be fun!

Hi! I'm in Gaithersburg - work in DC. I'm new here but being sleeved soon. I've finished all of my pre-op appointments and had my last appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday (I'm using Dr. Brebbia with MedStar)... now I'm just waiting on the insurance to give the final ok... He said it shouldn't take long...

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'm actually starting my pre-op diet Monday even though he only requires two weeks - I figure I may be on for an extra week or two but it's an opportunity for me to lose a little more weight since right now my appetite seems to be lower than normal (I just weaned off of two months of high dose Prednisone).

I'm glad to have found this group because I haven't found a local support group yet...

      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!!
