I live between Clinton and Newton Grove, but much closer to Newton Grove.

Where care you from and where did you have your surgery?

Raleigh here

How are you? Remember reading somewhere you had had complications. Unable to locate that post.

Hope you are doing much better. The first several weeks are tough, but it will get better! Take care.

Yes! My surgery was February 20 with Dr. McNatt and I couldn't be more pleased with the process and all of the members of the team. There are quite a few requirements that they have to qualify for surgery and sometimes they can be a bit burdensome, especially when your insurance doesn't have any, but I think they really want you to be successful. I have lost 40 pounds since the beginning of the process. The staff at the hospital was great for the two nights I was there.

A great friend of mine had his surgery also with Dr. McNatt also, in September of last year and has lost 140 pounds. If you haven't already, check out the support group this month.

Feel free to message me directly if you have Questions!

Hi neighbor! I'm going to Nash too, and I also have Dr. Naziri. I'm still in the pre-op stages...evaluations and whatnot. Last thing scheduled is my endoscopy on the 21st. Are you satisfied with your journey so far?? Are you on Facebook?

      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!!
