Hi All, I'm not near you but Spokane isn't super duper duper far away. I've been known to drive there once or twice! :) I'm in Olympia, WA and I was sleeved on October 7, 2013. It was a lapband removal--revision to a sleeve. I'm feeling really great. So great that I don't even believe I got my sleeve! :P I wish, wish, wish there was a support group here for sleevsters because I just don't know what I'm doing with this thing. I'm still on liquids until November 20, 2013 so that part isn't so fun but I'm back at work and doing my workouts and the incisions are all but gone. I really do feel good.

I love NWWLS! Everyone is amazing there and they all just want the best for you and for you to succeed on your journey. Most of the staff has had weight loss surgery, so they know what you're going through.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry 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!!
