Dec. 3, 2013 was the day I had the opportunity to start regaining my life back. I chose to have the gastric bypass performed and had to endure the infamous 2 day pre-op diet. I must say that that was the hardest thing ever for me. On surgery day, all was well until the actually procedure began. During the procedure it was revealed that I had a hiatal hernia and my stomach had been positioned in my chest area. Nevertheless, he took care of those issues and everything was fine from that point. Now, I'm 5 days post-op and I'm sore without any pain. I've lost 6 celebrated lbs. since my surgery and plan on checking again during my first post-op apt Dec. 16th. The only challenge I've encountered so far is keeping on the eating schedule. I find myself falling asleep and messing that thing all the way up. Hopefully, I'll get better managing it soon.
