My surgery was yesterday, and so far so good!! I feel fine, just a little sore. The dr. gave me codein for pain. I took it last night (every 4 hours), but when I got up this morning, I just took liquid tylenol, and it's worked great.

I have to laugh at my stomach though because it is making some VERY interesting noises! I now have a talking stomach! I decided to name it Elliot; affectionately named after that Pasamaquady resident and best friend to Pete (from "Pete's Dragon" for those of you that don't know the movie)!!

Also. . I'd like to give a shout out to the makers of GAS-X! Thanks for making the dissovable tongue strips!! They don't taste bad (unlike the liquid Centrum Silver Muti-vitamin) and they work really well!!! Rock on Gas-X people!! Rock on! :rockon:

For me I always wondered if it was my little stomach or big stomach.

I had that tiger in my tank too.

They have chewable Centrum and they are orange flavored. Those taste good.

Good luck on your journey...........................

Congratulations Michelle.:clap2::clap2: I am so happy for you. I will be seeing my surgeon on June 8th to get my surgery date. Also at Southwest bariatrics in Austin. Keep us updated on your weight loss journey.

I love the strips, too! MintyFreshness rules! I was banded in Houston on the 31st and doing great, too. I think that there's a whole-lotta-bandin' goin' on in Texas!

I didn't get Codeine, but liquid hydrocodone and it serves the same purpose. At least helps me bend over more easily!

Best wishes to you!!!!!

congrats toniteach; thanks for the gas-x i read that there will be much gas and bloating. wow 16lbs loss only in a day!!!!

sorry the message was for michelle

I need to change my ticker. . .the 16 lb weight loss was from the 2 week pre-op diet! I haven't weighed myself since surgery. I need a new scale at home. . don't trust the one I have.

Edie, gotta ask what you did to reach your goal in less than a year! Congratulations!!!!! That is very inspiring!!
