Welcome! I think that in order to add a photo and profile info, you need to use the desktop version of the website on a real computer. I don't think you can do it through the app.

Welcome! What a young grandma you are. Just wait till you are also the healthiest on the playground. My second grandchild was born two weeks ago and I'm so excited to be able to keep up with him in a way I could not when my granddaughter was a toddler. I'm in New York City by the way.

I haven't lost ANY weight since the of my surgery. Hello Sarah. I can't get in all my fluids either....I'm averaging about 40 to 50 ounces a day. I quit keeping count really. As far as pain, the only pain I have is in my chest when the food passes through. Don't know why or what it is. Have you lost any weight?

@Zachnchrissy@jsleeve when I first was post op....I shocked at how little I could eat or drink....but I think the stomach has some swelling just from the procedure that will go away as your stomach heals....but today I feel fine and can handle a bit more volume...I know this isnt MAGIC....but What should we be expecting as far as weight loss....and are we driving ourselves nuts weighing everyday...(NOT THAT I WILL STOP)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
