How is everyone?!

I was up in my room around 1 and started walking at 2p. I had a lot of pressure and discomfort. It has eased up quite a bit.

My stomach Itself feels weird. I don't know if I'm nauseated or if it is spasming. I'm holding down about 3 sips of Water at a time. Room temperature goes down way easier than cold, although ice chips help.

Oh, and THANK YOU to whoever posted to bring Chapstick! It has been a lifesaver!!!

I hope everyone is doing okay! I'd love to hear other's experiences.

Oh! I only threw up once too lol. I was walking and overdid it. My mouth got super dry and it made me gag... Which made me vomit. It was mostly blood (which freaked me out) but they said that was normal.

Hey everyone! I had my surgery yesterday. I didn't really have time to be nervous cause they called me in at 11 instead of 1 cause my doctor was ahead of schedule. I'm in a lot if pain but I knew that. I am not nauseous at all and haven't been at all. I thank God for that. I'm going home today waiting on my nurse to finish discharging me.

The nausea sucks! They almost didn't let me go home because of it. I'm home now though and am happy.

What if you take a nap?? lol

I also have Horizon BC BS of NJ. My information was sent on 2/28/13. I have been checking their site, but nothing on there yet regarding the authorization. I called today 3/5 but was told nothing in the system, but it could be in UR just not complete yet. Looks like your insurance was sent in on 1/29 then you received letter on 2/9? I am so anxious for the insurance part to be over and authorization in hand.

Good luck!

Laying down in bed one night' date=' 8 months ago, I decided right then and there, that the Lap Band wasn't working for me and it was time to take my life into my own hands. I'm going to be healthy, I'm going to be around for my children, I'm going to be happy with my weight for once in my life!!

And now!!!! It's happening!! It's almost here!! I can barely stand it!!

I can feel my nerves going up and back down again.

But I am ready! Words of encouragement and advice needed still though![/quote']

      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!!
