Thats great! Youve done really well! I hope I can do the same..I was just sleeved last Friday and had internal bleeding so I had to have another surgery Saturday morning and blood transfusions the rest of the day. Definitely not what I had in mind!! But Ive had some bad nausea as well and Im praying I dont have anymore complications! I live in Wilmington but was sleeved in Pinehurst.

Was the first week or two rough for you?! I keep second guessing whether or not I made the right decision!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Sorry it's taken a bit to respond. Holiday stuff is time consuming!! LoL

Unfortunately complications come with this to some degree. I developed a slight stricture and ha to have a ballon dilatation last week.

It does get better. The first month I had to figure out how to get in my Proteins and fluids without being so sick to my stomach. I use nectar Protein Powder unflavored and I have found it goes in everything!! Yay!

I doing regret a moment of my surgery. Even with the nausea I dont regret it. Try the GNC ready to drink Protein Shakes, they are great and not to thick or overly sweet. Also if you get tired of plain Water mix it 75/25 with apple juice or cranberry grape juice. I don't like plain water so that helps me get my water in.

Hey! I am in the Raleigh area. Still pre-op, though. I just had my gallbladder removed last Thursday. Recovery hasn't been too bad. Looking forward to my sleeve surgery!

      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!!
