Thanks everyone, the surgery went well my liver was small. And they weighed me before surgery and I went down to 254.2lb because my period had finished. Also I can’t lie I was really sleepy before they put me under anesthesia. While I was in recovery room I tried not to wake up even when they brought me to my room. Ladies and gentlemen it be no joke. Them gas pains. By God, the nurse was taking my blood pressure. And the stomach/gas pain was hitting me and my blood pressure went all the way up to 256 really quick, because of the pain. I told the nurse and she waited until the pain stoped and blood pressure went back down to 106. Not going to lie I’m suffering from feeling very nauseas and my body makes all the movements someone has pups if they wee going to vomit. But nothing would come out. My aunt is not dealing with the nausea like me. She feels like her chest hurts/heartburn. The medicine the nurse gave me a different one really helped with nausea, because the other ones wouldn’t help at all. Also I think they gave me pain medicine about 8-9 times already. Because when I tell you then stomach/gas pain hit you dam they are awful. But still it’s all worth it, my body will heal and get used to it’s new stomach.

        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!!
