Absolutely none! I was super super lucky. I didn't have any issues at all! I had my surgery in Harrisburg at community osteopathic hospital.

Did u schedule ur sleep study yet? They are not fun but well worth it. I feel so rested when I use my nasal pillows. I used to fall asleep driving on 76. Crazy tired!!! Not anymore. I'm from Feltonville area. I'm getting mine done at Mercy Fitzgerald' date=' Dr. Ram. Don't have a set date yet. Aetna is acting up after I completed all my tests, support, exercise, and nutrition classes. It's frustrating but I leave it in God's hands. Wishing you the best with yours.[/quote']

Update:

I was given Oct. 9th as my date then told no, ins co is acting up. I went back and forth with everyone up until the 8th. Not even an hour after I got off the phone with aetna, I was called by the OR telling me to report the next day. I'm a wk post op, feel great, see results, meds are reduced already. wow! God is good all the time!!! Praise HIM!

Hi all!

Upper Saucon/Bethlehem here. Had my surgery Oct 1, 2012 by Dr. Rovito.

Have some trouble getting all the fluids in. Was having wicked headaches. So started to concentrate on that more rather than the Protein.

It's a whole new world and I'm sure it gets better/easier.

      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!!
