Hey all. Just an update on first day back to work. I was tired. And came back to mass emails and stuff to do at work. Went to dinner with my bff and an out of town friend. The bff knows about surgery but the other doesn’t. Had a little smooth tomato soup and brought the rest home.

Definitely more tired than normal, but I did power through. I have already been to town a few times and walking in Target and such since 6/7.

Good morning to all, this has been the longest 8 months of my journey but its here's, I check in at 7 surgery at 9 . Twins day we got this Maggie.

Thank you Veejay, I'm pumped this morning I had to drink my required 12 ounces of powerade at 5 this morning.

Hello everyone I am all checked in just waiting to be called in the back space

Hang in there. It goes by quick. You won’t even remember how it happened. Blessings. Will see you on the other side. You will do great!

Thank you! I guess I am scared of the pain I’ll wake up to and I don’t want to take to many pain killers (I’m recovered) so just a bunch of emotions thank you for being such a positive light for me

Good luck to all of you having surgery today and to those who have returned to work, stay strong; you have this. I had my surgery on 1st June and am still feeling pretty good; not in any pain, am driving and can move around easily. I commenced a pureed diet right out of surgery and it will be this way for a full month - its ok but would like some texture! Over the last coupe of days, the very thought of food has left me feeling nauseous as has some smells. I have been advised this is not uncommon for bypass patients. we're doing great xx

Hi June friends! I’m having RNY June 2nd. I had a lapband for about ten years and just had that removed a few weeks ago due to lack of success and negative side effects. Now I have no restriction, no side effects, and feel like I can’t stop eating, ugh! Surgery day can’t come soon enough.



Good luck to you all!

I too had a lap band for 18 years no success and many complications. New doc sent me to Bariatric surgeon, many tests, counseling and he said, let’s get the band out and do an RNY bypass. Wonderful doctors here in Temple Tx. Woke sore and in a bit of pain, but not horrible. The constant pain from the band was gone! I feel so much better.
