Hello everyone I got my surgery done on Dec.31,2014. It's only been almost 4 weeks but I feel good. I was in the hospital for only 1 day and only had pain for 2 days. Also everything I drink or eat now always goes down smoothly and pain free. Thank god nothing has made me sick an I can tolerate everything. When I started this journey to lose weight I was 410 pounds which was pretty scary... The day of surgery I was 347 and now I'm 328 also just because I've had good luck so far. Doesn't mean it's not hard and scary but I know it's for the best. I love this site and how supportive most ppl are. I hope my story can help someone out there and remember I'm new and still have lots of questions but I'm willing to share what I know so far. God bless you all!!!!!!

Congratulations on your tremendous progress! I too am one of the lucky folks that have not experienced dumping syndrome. I however do not like anything that is sweet which is great for me because I was a sugar fiend before my surgery. I simply stay away from it at all costs.

      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!!
