Hello everyone,
I went to the dr yesterday for my post op visit. My incision are healing really well and to my suprise I have lost a total of 19 pounds since my surgery on Novemeber 10, 2010. I could not believe it I actually asked the Dr if that number was correct. So from my highest weight I have lost 25 pounds. To me that is amazing since I have never been able to do this before. I am so grateful for the decision I have made and look forward to my new journey on life. Good luck to everyone pre-op to post- op and beyond. May all everyone wishes, hopes, and dreams come true. I also would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with friends and Family. Till the next update everyone take care.

hello,
I am now on 5 days post op. I expereienced lots of bruising around my incisions and they seem to be getting better I am not as black and blue as I was before. Thank goodness. I still have mild pain but as each day progress it seems to be getting better. I am now on a full liguid diet and was able to eat about a cup of strained potato soup. Which was not to bad. I am happy to report that I have lost a total of 9 pounds since my surgery. I wish everyone who is in the post op stage a sucessful journey.

Well today I had my first visit with my pcp for my six month diet. Went better than expected. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week. Hopefully this will prepare me for my life changing experience. Did anyone have to lose wieght before insurnace approved you? I am a little worried if I lose to much weight my insurance will deny me. Please if anyone has already gone through this process I would love for you to share your story. Thanks
hello,
Woke up last night with horrible gas pains and heart burn. I really don,t understand where the heartburn is comming from. Called my doctor to ask what he recommondes for te heart burn. He asked if I was stuck. I really don't think that is what is is because I have been on nothing but full liquid. He suggested I take prevacid(opening the caspule). Hope it works. But a a lighter note I am down to 250. yeah!!!
