I am doing amazing! I am down 28lbs total 10day preop diet and 6 days post op! I feel great! Still get tired after doing too much so I can last for about 5 hours and I'm ready for a nap. But I know that will pass :) stay positive! You'll do great!

Wow 28 lbs, that's awesome doll. Keep it up! Oh I can't wait to see the scale move. Looking to shed 60lbs.

What is this swallow test that you speak of? I think I've only seen it mentioned once or twice, but have no clue what it is.

For my surgeon, the next day after surgery, hey give you a swallow or leak test. You swallow barium and they the X-ray Doctor looks to see if there is a leak, if not the you get to start your Clear Liquids.

I'm getting ready to be discharged. I had my surgery on Friday :)

Scheduled for lapband to sleeve-8/9. CW-279. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Some doctors do it while you are still under anesthesia (mine did) so some if never experience that.

      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!!
