I had my surgery on November 23, 2012 in Plano at the new Victory Healthcare Center. What type of progress in terms of physical activity, sleeping on my side, driving, etc... Should I be experiencing at 6 days post op? And I didn't weigh the morning of surgery, so I can't pinpoint exactly how much weight I have lost until my 2 week post op. Anyone else have a laproscopic incision in your belly button?

I don't, they made 6 small incisions and they have pretty much gone away.The first two weeks i could sleep on anything but my side.I would sleep on the couch with my back to the couch and on my side.When i diff sleep in my bed again i woke up on my stomach and wad in alot of pain.Is funny because when i was overweighti could only sleep on my stomach and now 167lbs later i can't sleep on my stomach at all.

I assume you mean Oct. 23. If so that's when I had mine. I'm losing about .5-2 lbs per day. I sleep on my side and cannot sleep on my stomach so I guess everyone is different.

I start full liquids tomorrow. I'm excited for new flavors but also nervous about the taste, how my stomach will handle it and if I'll keep losing.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences! It is so difficult not knowing what to expect. Yes, surgery was 10/23/2012. Have lost 34 pounds, but seems to be slowing down. I am strictly following all of the rules, and I hope I do not stall at this point. Some foods I have added during this soft solid stage makes my stomach feel awful...don't know what to eat, so I end up back to Soup.< /p>

Was DR.Davidson from Presby Dallas? He did my surgery at Forest Park Dallas.

      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!!
