Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum and still trying to navigate my way around the site! My name is Mary, I am 32 from Va. I have finally decided to take the plunge! My surgery date is set for March 13, 2013 !!! I have less than 4 weeks to go! I am very excited and can't wait to transform my life to a better healthier one. I have struggled with being obese since about 6 months after my first son was born back in 1998! I have been trying relentlessly to get thinner but it just seems like the weight wont budge... On top of that I have had pseudotumor cerebri (IIH) for over 4 years now and hopefully ahen I loose the weight I will loose that too!

Hi lil boo just had my surgery Feb 25th good luck

Glad your doing well!!!

Thank you. As of now I feel really good only sore.

I hope mine goes that smooth!!! Keep us updated when you begin having results!

Ok sure will.

Penny the soreness doesn't last long I had surgery last Monday n I'm already back at work(which I don't recommended) but I barely have pain now....keep walking it truly does help the worse part is the air bubble feeling but keep walking oh n first time u toot is AMAZING!!!!! Sorry just being honest it relieves a lot of pressure but good luck!!!

I know what you mean Jess I'm in love with farting, I just don't go around doing it around everyone lol

Me either but now after surgery it hurts to hold it LOL .....uggg I'm Judy ready to get back to a regular diet

Just lol

I never hold it I just take off somewhere else where nobody is there and then free myself lol and hope that no 1 walks behind me lol

Well had a rough night last night in hospital but hopefully ill get to go home today. Nothing better than my house n my bed. Altho I don't look to sleep n my bed for a lil bit yet. Crossing my fingers I will tho.

Hope you are feeling better soon !! Praying for you!!

Speaking of farting, I know after surgery it's a gassy situation, but for those of you who have already had yours for a while now, is this s daily issue ?? I heard there is a pill they can give to neutralize them so they are not so stinky?? Any input on that ?? This is a scary area for me, I absolutely hate passing gas, lol..I for one wished we never had to fart or have bowel movement ever in our lives , I know goofy ain't I, lol

I know for me personally(I just had surgery 2/25) the first few days was the worse with farting but that's because the give u high doses of regalin to get ur GI track moving now its just occasional gas but I burp alot
