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']

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
