I know there were several people having surgery this week. I just wanted to say I had mine on Weds and did great. My liver was bigger than he thought so took a little longer and I stayed in the hospital about 48 hours for my blood tests to come back up. Anyway other than that everything was smooth and I was up walking a few hours after surgery. Been drinking good just pacing myself and walking a few min every hour. Slightly sore but I'm ready for the losing part too. Hope this helps anyone feeling scared cause I was terrified. Also I am a bigger patient....just under 500 so I did well and I'm sure you all will too. Good luck everyone and we can all share our weightloss successes soon! :-)

Check with your surgeon/nutritionist.

I had my surgery May 24th. So far doing ok. This was my first time having surgery so I was a nervous wreck, but the anesthesia team was awesome. I’m just working on my Clear Liquids and tolerating everything without any problems. Just that stabbing pain from the big incision site when I change positions. Im walking quite a bit too. Hoping for a smooth recovery for everyone.

      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!

        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!!
