Awesome! I hope you get there! My wedding dress was size 6, but the sizes are different. I weighed 112 and my clothes was size 4. My wedding ring hasn't fit for about 10 years now. Forget a new ring, I want this surgery!

I am 4 days post op and I am sad to say the gas pain for me was a living he!! I looked at my surgeon with tears in my eyes like I had failed because of the nasty gas pain. They took x rays and found a lof of gas has shifted over to my left breast and that was the big deal.

It's so nice to see others not have pain. But it wasn't me : (. As of today day 4 post op my tummy feels like Jello inside. I keep a pillow close by the slight pressure adds comfort. The gas ... Gads I hope it's gone : )

We are all so different going thru this journey to be healthy for ourselves and to be active in society again. We all ROCK!

:unsure: Alrighty then' date=' wow that just made my heart skip a beat!!![/quote']

I still don't know what to think of it but I do know that they have no idea what caused it. I felt fine. Didn't even know I had any problems till cardio doc came in later that day to tell me. Heck they didn't even call my husband about it. So with all that I will follow up but for now I think it was a fluke.

It's just nice we can share our experiences and then go to have our own. Don't worry things will turn out beautiful inside and out in the long run : )

      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!!
