Hiya! We are in the home stretch eh? Part of me is nervous but part of me is saying can we just do this already please? I want to get on with it, get through it and get healing. Then I can focus on skinny lol. How are you doing? Are you on the liquid diet?

I'm nervous but more numb I think. Before I thought this day was so far away and now I can't believe how fast it got here. You and I have similar stats. If you need a weight loss/surgery buddy I'm here!

Hi Lisa, I had my surgery on the 7th and ai was home on the 9th. The first 2 days I could hardly get 2 tsp of anything down but now I can get a little more in and tolerate most of what I've had. I started having massive headaches and felt nauseous + felt like my lungs were closed. I went to emergency but they couldn't find anything and said it was likely to be anxiety or stress related. I woke up and felt ok this morning, more energetic and I drove for about 15 min. The same headache/ nausea symptoms came back and so I took Gravol and went to sleep. They were gone for a bit but now they're back again. Have you had similar symptoms?

Wow that's scary! No, it hasn't happened to me. I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond to you but i didn't see this. I find the setup of this forum very confusing in regards to new posts. Its even worse on my phone. I hope you feel a lot better now! I have caught with nausea since surgery and i still feel lightheaded but don't know why. My followup appt is Friday.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
