How did you all get your hair done for the surgery? I was gonna just slick it into a ponytail but I want to look cute when people visit me!

I got Senegalese twists 3 days before and I've had them for about 5 weeks. I'm sooooo glad I did. I was effortlessly cute!!!

I was afraid of breakage from lying down so much, so I put it away.

I had my first visit with my surgeon today. I have decided to get sleeved! I have my medical clearance on the 27th. Looks like I will be having surgery in April. I also found out I have no deductible or copay for the surgery.

This is getting real and I'm getting excited. After years of taking care of everyone else, I am making 2015 all about me!

Thank you Ms. Dee! I have like zero appetite right now. I'm forcing myself to drink this chicken broth because taking medicine without food isn't a good idea. I couldn't drink all of my Protein Shake. Right now I'm just trying to stay hydrated and positioned right in bed. My surgeon sent me home with a DVT machine for blood clots... Not really noisy as I thought it would be.

Here's a few random pictures. Me and best friend who was there with me the whole time. One of my incisions and a picture of me when I made it home today.

Good morning ladies... Did anyone have to take Carafate and Actigall post surgery? Just curious... What did the doctor prescribe you upon being discharged from the hospital?

Good morning ladies... Did anyone have to take Carafate and Actigall post surgery? Just curious... What did the doctor prescribe you upon being discharged from the hospital?

Carafate is an antacid. I was prescribed omeprazole. Actigall is for the treatment or prevention of gallstones.

The only other prescriptions I was sent home with was colace which is stool softener and something for pain. I can't remember exactly what was prescribed. I didn't have any pain so I never got the script filled.

I was prescribed omeprazole prior to surgery but he told me to stop taking it... So I guess carafate took its place. I'm taking that, Actigall, and giving myself enoxaparin shots for blood thinning. I got acetaminophen and codeine and something for nausea but haven't taken either.

      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?
