I'm planning to have my surgery in late January if approved by insurance. I live in Federal Way, WA.

Yup I'm up and about but really struggling to get fluids in. Been having lots of muscle spams and pain. So it's hard to tell if I'm full .

Most likely gas pains. They are not fun! Walking really, REALLY helps. My nut told me to drink 1oz every 15min. It helped me a lot. Baby steps! It's gets better from here on...

Anyone else feel like their taste buds keep changing. One day I can stomach something and the next day it tastes gross.

YES! to taste buds changing. I also still have a lot of referral pain in my shoulder, but hoping walking will help. Yesterday was great, but today I had too much gas pain. Dr. Michelson suggested Gas-X strips, so I am giving those a try. :-)

Yes the gas x strips do work and of course walking. How much are you able to eat? Sometimes I feel like I eat alot? Idk I still haven't felt the feeling of full i think. I get so scared that I just stop but I end up eating more frequently. Idk if this makes sense.

How are folks doing?

I got my date. Scheduled for April 25th at Overlake. Woot woot.

Congrats! Hope it goes well!

That is awesome Whitefoot- it's so close!

I'm still in the 3 month weight loss and getting all the pre-surgical requirements done. Got my CPAP today for my sleep apnea. I'm hoping to have surgery in July.

Any updates from those who have had their surgeries?

My update is that I've been approved for surgery by my insurance and it's set for July 11th. Would love to hear how others are doing!

I'd love to hear how surgery went with Dr. Houseworth at St. Francis. Any updates?
