Hi all. My surgery is scheduled for October 16! It’s coming so fast. I’m excited and nervous! I’ve waited so long for this. I’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else and now it’s my time! Who else is out there that’s having surgery in October? I’d love to connect with you.

Hi BelleofBatonRouge! Are you excited? Nervous? Are you on a liver shrinking diet? I am on the second week and it’s goung pretty well. I’m not craving anything so I guess that’s good! Best of luck to you! Let’s stay in touch to keep up with each other’s progress.

Thanks for checking in! Waiting to be discharged now. I had a rough time with the anesthesia and couldn’t keep anything down but it was better today. I had to be able to drink 60 cc of Protein Shake and 60 cc of Water for 6 hours. Now I’m headed home! Yay

Had my surgery on Monday. All went well. My biggest issue is I can’t eat sugar free food. The artificial sweeteners make me sick. I have this horrible taste in my mouth that I can’t get rid of! Makes me want to vomit. How is everyone else doing?

Just scrolled back to this to reminisce. My surgery was 10/22/18.. so it's been a little under six months and I'm down 94 lbs since surgery.. although I had a bit of a rough patch month three through five where I was eating alot I shouldn't have.. I've recently regained some semblance of control over my eating and am eating alot healthier. How are other October surgery peeps doing?

        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!!
