Thanks I will. I thought I would be nervous, but right now excitement. I am sure the nerves will come closer to 12:00 noon, that's scheduled surgery tIme. Definitely will give an update and planning on great progress reports too.

Well, surgery is over!!! Yeah, had to spend the night in the hospital, THANK GOODNESS! Day one was rough, but today is better. I actually consider myself pretty tough, but I have to admit this was worse than I thought it was going to be. VERY SORE, but getting better. How long do the gas pains hang around? I have been pushing myself to get up, shower, etc. to help get rid of these pains, but they keep hanging around. I am looking forward to tomorrow, every day should get easier. Thanks for all the prayers and encouraging words.

Hi there, congratulations on being on the other side! Walking is absolutely the best -- and windmill arms, etc. If you're in bed (I know, so hard to get into and out of bed, up and down from couch, etc.!) the "happy baby" yoga pose was recommended to me and that really worked. On your back, arms and knees up, roll around a little. And people talk about rolling on to left side for relief. You'll figure it out and feel better shortly. When the incisional pain was hard I compared it to what I hate most in the world, dentistry. Made the banding seem easier. And I was doing it for a reason -- for me, my future, my health. So being full of purpose helped me. Still does! Good luck with all and let us know how you are doing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
