I scheduled my surgery for May 4th. I am using Dr. Procter at Buckhead Bariatrics in Atlanta. Doing all the pre-surgery appointments now and wrapping up a big project at work. Excited and nervous at the same time!

Yay! Congrats!

How was your surgery 4farmers?

Hey May 4ers! Just checking how everyone's doing? It's been a rough almost two weeks with the liver shrinking diet but it's almost over! Wishing everyone well over the weekend, Praying for pain and complication free surgeries on Monday!

Good Morning Everyone!

I was sleeved on May 4th, had pretty bad nausea, vomiting and very bad gas pains, I was unable to keep fluids down, I was discharged on Wednesday night. I now have a visiting nurse coming out for two weeks to administer home Iv's to prevent dehydration. I'm up and walking around though, have done some light house work, the gas pains are getting better every day. I now understand what people were talking about when they described frothy saliva or burps.

I'll be glad when this phase is over! Lol! Still Praying for everyone to have a smooth recovery!

How are you feeling now, Ms. Kay?

Hello marybear1965!

I'm okay, thank you for checking on me. I'm Still unable to get anything down, sugar free popscickles have been my friend.

Ms. Kay, what is your surgeon saying? I'm praying for you right now!!

I was told they repaired the hiatal hernia. Stomach was inflamed, had to do the X-ray with barium swallow, it proved there were no leaks but liquids were going down really slow. I was given three IV bags of vitamins before I was discharged. I guess I have to allow time for everything to heal.

Thank you for your Prayers! I need them and greatly appreciate them. It seems there aren't too many "Happy" May 4th stories, I'm truly Praying even through these first couple of rough weeks, we all make it through and can have success! To all the Mothers- Happy Mother's Day!

How are things now that your are a little further post-op? I'm hoping you're doing really well! My surgery date was the 6th, and I'm back at work now. I have NO pain and everything is going exactly as it should -- just bored sick of the full liquids and ready to move on to to the next stage on Friday. Blessings!
