@@Ashlegal, did you have your surgery? Everything go well for you? I had mine, BUT didn't end up with the bypass I went in for. Apparently he couldn't make my intestine reach up to my stomach, and I'm going to have to lose more weight before we try again. Most disappointing thing in the world, waking up in pain only to find you aren't past the whole thing. I came home same day, still have a lot of soreness and bruising (he tried for 2.5 hours to make it work). Guess I'll need to pop into the October surgery thread now!

You had surgery and your already waking outside. Wow your brave. I'm okay just a little in pain. Surprisingly not hungry at all. And that's saying something for me lol

Oh me too. I thought for sure I would have cravings for Cheeseburgers. The more I move the better I feel I feel really good this afternoon

That's so awesome! I walked around my house I don't think i could make it outside yet since I'm still taking pain meds every 5 hours. Totally random question have you had a bowel movement yet? If so was it painful

I have not had a bowel movement and it's been six days-I assume I should do a stool softener or has it taken everyone this long?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
