My surgery date was July 17, 2015.

I was lucky to meet another surgery candidate while at the NUT ed session the day before our surgeries, and we have kept in touch. She only lives 4 hours away from me.

Her journey has been quite different than mine, she went into cardiac arrest on Day 2 and was taken to ICU. Of course the hospital staff couldn't tell me and I was so worried. She stayed in the hospital 5 more days. Meanwhile I was frantically calling her house and leaving messages. When she finally called I was so happy to hear from her!!

She is a nurse so I really appreciate her advice about all things bariatric, and I mail her my larger clothes.

She is kicking my butt in terms of weight lost, I am doing better than she is with exercise.

She no longer has high blood pressure, I no longer have diabetes.

Its a very good connection, I am grateful.

JenyP,

My surgery went very well, I was off pain meds the first day, (except Tylenol for my caffeine withdrawal).

I am down 57 pounds, now. My waist measurement went from 44 to 36.

My bariatric buddy from Eau Claire who went thru at mayo Clinic the same day as I did, tells me she has lost more than 90 pounds.

They say we are all different, and I know she had some pretty scary issues with hers. She's much better now, and no longer has high blood pressure, but is experiencing some shoulder pain.

Me, type II diabetes is under control, and only yoga class makes me ache.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
