Hi All, surgery went great, had some issues about 4 days out with rapid heart beat, sweating, feeling faint for several days. After a visit to the ER today and lot of tests, I was told that I was dehydrated. Even though I drink 64 oz a day I can't seem to drink enough. But that aside I am happy. One week out and I have lost 7.7 pounds. Nice!

Woohoo! I get dehydrated so, so easily too. I actually have to drink more than 64 ounces a day. in fact, I usually drink between 75-80 ounces a day, and I really feel crappy if I don't. It's all worth it though! Plus, it's just better for your body and brain to drink a ton of water anyway. Take care.

Great!!! Im switching from band to bypass on Nov 4... I hope to loose like you... I gained some back since my band was empty for a few months.. so I want this new found weight off ASAP... How are you feeling? How long did you take off work?

I'm doing great! The Dr. found that the band had actually grown into my liver so it had to come out anyway. I am taking 2 weeks off, going back this Monday. I have lost 10 pounds. Yahoo! The only thing I have to be concerned with is doing too much. I feel great.
