@@Shelby How do you feel? Tired? Do you have to get B12 shots? I haven't had my surgery done when I signed up for this account because my insurance twice denied me for being too young. I'm 18 now, but I'm scared of the post-operative care. Not the pain or the surgery, but becoming anemic and finding Vitamins that will meet my nutritional needs. Just wanted to connect to someone who's similar in weight, age, and height so I could see what I might look like.

I would love to talk to you! And sorry this is getting back to you a day later. But no actually there is no need to be worried about becoming anemic or anything like that. There are certain Vitamins that my doctor gave me. I'm not sure if your doctor will give them to you or if they have the same kind that my doctor gave me. I would suggest talking to them about the different kind of Vitamins. But it's normal to feel tired easing for a couple of weeks after surgery because you're body is leading how to work differently and adjust t different things. It's really nothing to worry about !

Junior here and getting admitted in the hospital in 8 hours for my surgery on Sunday! Doing it during spring break and worried about what people at school will say. Keeping it on the down low, but do you guys think people will catch on that I got surgery? And is 8 days enough for me to get back to school?

      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!!
