How are you doing today?


Doing much much better. Standing up a little straighter each day. Actually helped make dinner tonight. Had a lot of help but I did a little. It was nice.

Hey everyone! I am 10 days out from surgery and doing great!! Boobs still swollen and sore but not Tylenol worthy. Just a little uncomfortable. Tummy doesn’t hurt at all unless I turn or move it a way that kinda stretches-I’m careful not to but sometimes when getting up it’s hard not to.
Drains come out Monday!! So happy. They are kinda annoying hanging from my lanyard around my neck.
So that’s the update! DOING GREAT!!
Once I heal up a tad more I’ll do some bathing suit pics. Need these drains out for starters. Lol

Today is the day!!! Drains come out today!! Can’t wait. Feel like they were becoming like a little leash on me. Couldn’t move freely. I’m very excited. (Not for the 3 1/2-4 hour drive). Since I live so far away this will be my first appt since the day after surgery. All and all recovering without any complications which is all I could ask for. I go back to work next Monday. Which will be nice to get out and do more. Hoping I’m standing up straight by then. I’m already up straighter than last week.
Not sure at this point do they take “after pics” or is that later on? Wonder if I can request copies of before and after pics

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
