Recommended Posts

I'm going to keep things short and sweet because I go in out of being awake to being asleep. My surgery was yesterday on 4/9/13 in South Mississippi. Dr. Avara is my surgeon and he did a wonderful job with my surgery and aftercare!! I'm experiencing discomfort but mostly I'm doing well! I don't regret, the time, effort or energy that has been put into this journey! My life was at stake without this procedure so I chose life! I would like to scream a big thanks to all of my previous, present and further VST forum supporters!

I just want to report my 10lb weight loss! I'm a week out today! I'm so happy that I took this step in the right direction for my health.

How are you feeling, are you back at work?

Im feeling pretty good. My incisions are healing well. I'm no longer in need of pain meds. I must admit I'm tired, which I think is because I'm not taking my Vitamins correctly all of the time. I haven't gone back to work yet. I was fortunate enough to take the entire month off! Thanks for checking on me @Ir983286!

      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!

        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!!
