Well it's the big day tomorrow for me. I have had my band in and out a few years later and was fine, but for some reason today I am really tearful. Maybe it's because it's a bigger op and a bigger recovery time, I don't know. I am just really worried this time round :-(

What happened Little Bits?

I keep getting this growling sensation after drinking large amounts of liquids. It's internal, because no one else can hear it, but it feels very uncomfortable.

I also struggle with the feeling that I get as liquids drop into my sleeve. It reminds me of a roof leaking and the Water plopping into a bucket...ewww. That's the only way that I can describe it...

Anyway, there isn't any pain...just extreme discomfort. At first, I dreaded drinking fluids but I'm getting better with it.

Thanks Chuckles. Please don't let my experience scare you. In actuality, things could be a lot worse. I did have major surgery...good luck & keep me posted.

I'm getting so nervous/excited! My surgery is Wednesday the 27th! I'm on day six of my liquid diet right now. This is all so surreal!

      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!!
