    Day 4 after surgery....

    As I had mentioned before, I have bipolar disorder and I'm starting to feel it right now.... I feel depressed and confused asking myself why I did this.... Maybe I could have lost the weight some way.... I know my dr said not to weight myself but I did and I know i've lost 16 lbs in only 10 days which is great, but I'm just not excited right now. I'm still having horrible gas pains that wake me up in the middle of the night. I am not asleep more than 10 minutes sometimes that it wakes me up. The most i'll stay asleep is maybe 90 minutes max... that is really making me tired and because I'm not eating much I don't have much energy. I do walk around my house a lot to try to metabolize the gas like the DR said, but it doesn't take it away. I get hiccups which hurt too. I still have diarreha and the imodium is somewhat helping. We'll see how the rest of the day goes. I go back to work full time tomorrow and I hope I can manage....

    Day 4 after surgery....

    Thank you soooo much for you words!
  3. Day 4 after surgery....Not a good night. Haven't really been able to sleep more and 90 minutes at a time. Got a headache last night and the Gas has not gotten better :o( Have been walking more too and started on yogurt and shakes yesterday....lets see how the rest of the day goes.... Getting a little depressed...

  4. day 3 after surgery....i know this is probably TMI but i have diarreah. Called Dr Gee and he told me its natural bc of the antibiotics to take some emodium and said to move onto the next stage of eating. So I started with the protein shakes today and plain yogurt.... Feel sick and feverish though....if i feel worse i will be seen tomorrow at the SD clinic....I'm supposed to start back at work tomorrow, but will be taking an extra day to recover....

  5. Oh ok.... I just got my surgery 2 days ago and was wondering. I hope they don't find anything wrong! Thanks ladies!

    Day 2 after surgery...

    I've been a roller coaster when it comes to my weight pretty much my whole life. I've tried every diet and pill on the book to loose weight. And I have lost a significant amount of weight before and gained it back for one reason or another. I've been trying to have beriatric surgery for years and for one reason or another I've been denied before. Even though 1800 get thin scam the insurance companies, are extremely unorganized, and have many issues with their doctors, they did manage to get me my surgery. I had my surgery 6/10/11 in Beverly Hills with Dr. Gee. The day was long and eventfull but it finally happened. I am now recovering at my parent's house and looking forward to thye new me to come. Today is recovery day #2....still on pure clear liquid diet and somewhat in pain. Most of the pain coming from gas still trapped in my cavity. I am resting as much as possible since I go back to work on Tuesday, only 4 days after my surgery. I have many plans on how I will change my eating habits and life style to make this work. I feel like this is my last chance to loose the weight and keep it off. I'm trying to be optimistic, I feel a little depressed tough.....Oh, I forgot to mention that I also have bipolar disorder <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wL4OtvZ/"> <img border="0" src="<A href='http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wL4OtvZ/weight.png">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wL4OtvZ/weight.png"></a>
  7. Today is day 2 after my surgery... Ok so far :o)

  8. Ok, so I've already made up my mind....I'll be getting the surgery with Dr Gee June 10th!

  9. hey, I just met dr Gee yesterday. i had a different dr but my insurance only covers the center in beverly hills.

    Are you with 1800-get thin also? I've found so many bad things about the doctors that are affiliated with 1800 get thin that i'm freaking out. I didn't find anything bad about dr gee though.

    Freaking out about surgery

    I had read about the two brother doctors. Weightloss centers says that when they found out about top surgeons they stopped all affiliation with them. I've searched Dr Gee for hours and I couldn't find anything about him anywhere. I met with him yesterday and he did calm my nerves. He answered all my questions.

    Freaking out about surgery

    Hey Ms Bandit. I meet with the dr today in a few hours. If I don't get a good vibe I will go somewhere else. I did research dr Gee but couldn't find either good or bad things about him any where.
