Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

I'm one week out of surgery and I'm having pain by my rib on my left side has anyone felt that?

Sounds like trapped gas.

I will be glad when I can eat regular food again! Ugh!

Me too, day four of post-op and have spent three days in hospital counting the surgery day. I just feel so much better now. Gas is still here but, nothing like it was. Everyday gets a little better and I'm loving it...

I'm counting the days too. LOL I haven't had too many issues with gas thank goodness. My incisions are itchy but that just means that they are healing. Haven't been in hardly any pain. I am blessed. Now I'm just waiting for this whole thing to be over so I can get back to being normal. I'm losing weight but I don't know how much. Haven't weighed myself yet. Stomach is still a little bloated but it's going down. I can't wait for the end result.

9/3/2013. Feeling great! Have lost about 26 lbs thus far:)

Louisiana

Me too! Where in La?

I will be glad when I can eat regular food again! Ugh!

Honestly, I think that was one of the HARDEST things for me! I was sooo ready to eat. And I didn't have to do a liquid diet before surgery like some people (I don't understand why some doctors made y'all do that). My doc only required liquids only the day before surgery. I'm two days shy of 4 weeks and it's worth it! I can eat now - not much but I can. You'll get there. Hang in there:)

My surgery is tomorrow! Arrival time 930 and look at my progress so far!

HW 7/27/13 - 278

Start of pre op diet - 268

Today- 250!!!!!!!!!

So excited to start my new life!

Does anyone get that feeling like you need to burp while eating but you can't because there is food in the way?

Yes

yes...this happens when I'm drinking also

I hate that feeling! I hope it passes soon. I can't deal with that. It used to do that when I would drink. But that passed.

First night in the hospital. I did pretty good. It's hard to do the tiny amount of water they want me to do. I was so dehydrated. I probably am drinking too much, but I feel fine. I really want to get home so I can rest.

All the time now that I am on puréed food, ugh!

I'm 6 days post op and feeling much better. Had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to high blood pressure. Drinking well and sleeping a lot. Feeling hunger pains though.

I am so hungry!

I am not hungry but still have a decent amount of pain when my big incisions is. If onky that would eas up I would be good
