Got the call today. I hate to say it but this is as bad as a child waiting for Christmas! Three weeks are gonna take forever to get here. Was so hoping to have it by years end but they said that there were several people who's insurance would be terminated on January 1st so they wanted to try to get them all in first. Oh well, the important thing is I was approved and have a date. This just gives me more time to loose a few extra pounds and shrink the liver. Lol Good luck to all those who have their surgery between tomorrow and the end of the year. Chime in and let me know about your experiences. I would so like to hear about them.

Hello ladies, I am on Day 2 post op (surgery was Wed morning) and I am in horrible pain! Standing up and sitting down my body just screams...is this normal? I'm assuming after a major surgery iris but want some reassurance. Thanks!

Try a binder, Spanxx, Flexee underwear.

Sorry, I know I haven't logged in lately. A lot been going on between family life and work. By the time I sit down at night, I am worn out. Things are going ok. I have lost 26 lbs since surgery. Was still really sore up til about a week ago. Still eating creamed soups and liquids as I can't seem to eat any thing else yet. It hurts. Dr. wants me to try again tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to do better about checking in. Best wishes to all. Take care.

How are you feeling? I was in terrible pain also. I have just started feeling like myself for about the last week and a half or so. Hope you are feeling better and things are a little easier for you. Take care.

Well, I am down a few more pounds. I weigh less than I have in a lot of years. I am at 235 from 303 since my first consult on July 18, 2014. They want me to be at 200 by my next follow up on April 2. I have stalled out a few times on my weight. I still can't eat but a few teaspoons and I have to stop. For the last week though, I have been throwing up a lot. Not sure why. Very mucusy. And I know before hand as I get that "frothing" that they talk about. Shew....anyone else have that problem? Been very emotional too lately, which everyone is blaming my surgery mixed with hormones. I don't know. Can others share their experience since surgery? Would like to think I haven't gone off the deep end...lol. Thanks

Could very well be hormones.. when we lose weight, stored up hormones are released (estrogen).

I have no problem eating...very scary. I go for my 6 week postop tomorrow.

I have my date!! March 18!
