August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on Aug 21 and am feeling great! Haven't had any pain meds since leaving the hospital on the 23rd. Even my allergies have gotten better so I don't have to take meds for them. A little low energy, but geez, I just had major surgery 7 days ago! Feeling better every day. I can now drink plain Water again without it hurting or tasting yucky. My stomach is starting to settle down. Not gurgling or making as much noise as those first couple of days at home. Have finally lost my water weight gained in the hospital and a couple of more lbs.

I can't believe I did it. Had the sleeve yesterday and I'm not gonna lie the first 24 hrs we're thought. But, mainly because of the gas so I walked, walked and walked every 2-3 hrs and took some gas x I'm feeling sooo much better. I really don't gave that much pain or nausea. I've only had to take one dose of pain meds and nothing for nausea.

Had mine done on August 19 and I'm feeling pretty good. Can't wait until next week when I can have something besides just Protein Drinks. Mind hunger has been killing me but I think once I can't eat a little applesauce and cottage cheese I will feel a little better :P

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
