Introducing myself!



Recommended Posts

What's up everybody! I'm Antoinette. I was sleeved on August 19th. I'm recovering well but these staples are annoying the hell outta me. I just came here for support and motivation on my journey. I've been going through a lot in my personal life and could use some positivity. :-) I live in the Dallas area and I'm 29.

How did I miss your post you are the first person that have seen that had their surgery the same day as me. It's 13 days postop for us. How are you feeling? I am great, well I was until I started having this gas pain. Actually I was thrown off, because I didn't know what this was. It feels like contractions or something they way they come and go. I have some gas x at home (what good does that do for me?), so i will be making a quick stop to get some relief.

Yes! I have learned that you can eat, but just not as much as you use to. So it's important to go through the process if you want success on this journey ????

Hello Antoinette,

Congrats on finishing the first page of your chapter lol..

I can't wait to be in the other side of this long journey of going to doctors appointments, meeting with a psychologist, and attending nutritionist appointments....

Now, I am at the phase of submitting documents to the insurance company for approved.

My day will come in the future, but for now. I will like to send you best wishes on you weight loss journey!!!

        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!!
