Good morning bariatric pals, I am sitting at the hospital waiting to be called back to start my new journey. I'm so excited and can't wait until this part and the recovery is over. I'm praying for my other surgery buddies who are also having surgery today.

Prayers all goes well for you today and beyond! One step and a time. Be kind to yourself and don't rush recovery. Telling you and reminding myself of all of these things. I'm scheduled for later this month.

Good luck on your surgery and check back with us when you are on the other side and let us know how it went.

Good morning James Marusek. Everything went great! Even better then I expected. I walked to my door and sat for nearly an hour yesterday. I just had my first sip on my phase 1 crystal light.

Outstanding, May your whole recovery be that smooth.

Congratulations. ???☺️?

+1! glad all went well.

Hi surgery buddies, sorry it's been a while since my last post. Day one following surgery was great then day 2 went a little towards left field. I had my 1st bm and it was total blood which continued for the next 2 days. My hemoglobin dropped to low and I had to get 2 pints of blood. My energy dropped also and I was only allowed to sit up for a few minutes periodically. During my surgery they noticed an embilical hernia that they repaired and somehow it was partially entangled with my intestines. It appears that I was losing blood in my intestines but it stopped on its own without me having to have more surgery. I finally got discharged yesterday February 10th(which was the 1st anniversary of my husband's passing so I was mega glad to be back home with my family). My surgery journey was more then I expected but I have great hopes for the rest of my recovery process and my new me. Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes.

Hey surgery buddy! Wow I’m so sorry things didn’t go quite so smoothly for you. I so glad you are back home. I wish you immense success from here on out!
