Great to hear that you are recovering good and there are no complications!! My endocrinologist recommended Dr. Marvin. Dr Marvin's office submitted my case to insurance, now I wait... I hate waiting!! I totally understand the need/want to see immediate results!! I'm the same way! I live on Barbers Hill Rd. I am 39!! Yes, we absolutely need to talk more :)

This is my first post ever. I just got the sleeve done by Dr. Hollis at Memorial Herman Southeast. I started this journey in January 2013 and started at 392. After my scope on March the 7th he put me on an all Optifast diet. This was 5 8 ounce drinks a day. I cheated a little but stuck to it pretty good. I weighed in at the surgery at 338. A total of 54 pounds. I can tell you that im not soar at all other than the stitches. I drove my car today which is the third day with no issues. I staying on the pain meds about every 6-8 hours so nothing jumps at me. My meals are Optifast in morning with two Multivitamin pills. For lunch i have one optifast and then a sugarfree popsicle. For dinner the same.

I look forward to talkling to the two of us and maybe we can create our own support group here locally. I will join the one at the hospital but would like to have one a little closer also. I currently live in Mont Belvieu.

      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!!
