Hi there! I'm pretty new too, but I love to talk :D

I had my surgery on 5/16/16, and have lost 90lbs since then. Still learning about foods, what to eat, and how many calories I need to keep my weight loss going through the stalls.

I only brought my phone and charger, IPad (because I'm old and blind LOL), and I wore the same clothes that I wore into the hospital (baggy leggings and a big comfy shirt)... clean undies for the drive home, and CHAPSTICK. Don't forget the chapstick, because you will probably want it :) And don't leave it on the hospital food tray, because then you will lose it and make your spouse go get your more I live in Oklahoma City, OK. Not too close, but I'ven been to Arizona, does that count?

Hi, I had surgery 5/2/2016, it sounds like we are similar in stats. I have lost 84 pounds. I am in a weight loss stall, are you experiencing this?

        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!!
