Feeling really good. Down 18! Lbs. I do get tired easily but still trying to stay active. Fluids are going well, but so hard to get anything down. Every sip and bite makes this horrible pain happen in the middle of my chest. Dr today showed me the pictures of my swallow test. There is a small narrowing between sphincters and he says that's why I'm getting that pain. Told me to keep plugging away. Thin out what I am

Eating and take small but more frequent sips.

Thank you south for checking in on me!!!

wow 18 pounds already! thats amazing. Im getting really nervous about my surgery on the 18 of this month. I worry because I have Barrets esaphugus (caused by reflux) I already have some pain from this condition. They say it should help having the surgery cause it will force me to change my eating habits and I will lose the 75 pounds I need to lose. The more I read on this sight the more scared I get. Reading about the complications people have and such! I hope your pain in your chest goes away soon!! Take care and keep me updated on your recovery and progress.

        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!!
