You are going to do awesome! I am so excited for you. I am a Dr. Nicholson patient too. I had my sleeve surgery two weeks ago (October 14th) and I feel great. My two week follow up appointment is Thursday afternoon at the Plano office. Let me know if you have any questions.

Well surgery went great, I was up walking like a crazy woman lol! Everyone said I looked great. Yesterday was tough with the gas pains but I got my gas x last night. I slept great no pain meds (except the pain patch) since last night. Walked a little today and I think it's getting close to nap time. I did not get my Protein in yesterday so I am really trying today. I am just not hungry at all so that is my goal today is to work on getting that nutrition in.

I wanna know about your 2 week follow up, keep me posted!!!

Texasmom5 - how long did it take you to get all the gas off and out of your stomach? That is the only issue I am still having and just curious if about how long this part lasts?

Also let me know how you 2 week appt went.

I am so glad your surgery went so well!!! My two week appt went great. It was ironic....I started throwing up as I was driving to my appt. Yesterday and today my multi Vitamin has made me throw up. Sandy said to stop taking my Vitamins for a couple weeks. I also have not been able to tolerate thick liquids very well so she said to stay on clear liquids for another five days then try thick liquids again. Isopure is my best friend these days!!! Overall I feel good.

I am so sorry you are dealing with gas pains. That is no fun. It took a few days for the gas pains to go away. I lived on Gas x and Pepcid and did lots of walking! I can always tell when it's time to take my Pepcid!!! I had to also take a lot of nausea medicine. I have a very sensitive stomach and I am prone to nausea so that was my main issue after surgery. I actually had to go to the ER the day after surgery because I couldn't stop throwing up. Sandy has been great!!!

Hi I'm a Nicholson patient too. I will be 8 weeks out Monday.

So far everything has been pretty great. I just had my 6 weeks checkup last week. They took blood for labs but I haven't gotten the results.

I have been really happy with my results so far!

Has anyone been to the meetings yet?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
