Lol Iggy! You can fly to the uk but you won't find me there! I have been living in Philadelphia for over 19 years. Picked up the nickname then and it's stuck around.

Oh and rain has to be right in England because you don't get much of anything else!!! :-)

You can knock me up anytime Iggy!!!

once u start eating solids, you will be ok. i had the same problem until i ate solids. trust me.

i had a leak and couldve died because of it but thank god, im alive & will be 11months post op in 2days. im down 127lbs.

I am 4 wks out from surgery unable take protien in any form getting very little fluids in i cannot eat anything without wanting to vomit. I had complcations from internal bleeding & kidney failure due to blood loss. I wish i had never had it done i am sick of being sick. Please those of you considering surgery to look very carefully at all poss.complcations. i am very disgusted with my results i have no strength, stamina, nothing & i will not till i can take in protien which is impossible. Good luck if you decide to go through with it

Mrs Igg.I just read this thread and I think her question was fair. Before you or your little posse start attacking others ask yourself this.Who cares for your special needs kid while you babysit this website? Looks like another act of selfishness to me! SMH! You even had the nerve to say thanks everyone.You are just an old bully!

Hi guys. I just got sleeved on wed., and so far - so good. The worst part for me so far has been the

pain in my shoulder from the gas. Once I got rid of that, all else seems to be good. I expected the

energy loss from the anesthetic and stuff, but I'm drinking my clear liquids and all seems to be coming right along. It's Isopure for me. It doesn't taste bad at all, and the LaBrada Lean Body shakes are

pretty good as well - when you have to do the shakes, which I had to two for 2 wks. prior to surgery.

Lux, I'm sorry you're having a hard time of it, and wish you the best. I'll try to keep you guys posted on

my recovery and progress.

Hopefully you are past the worst of it. For most, things get better as the days go by and your stomach heals internally.

I really do wish you the best!!!

      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!!
