Hi! I am in the Upstate. Please understand that this is life changing surgery and you have a right to be overwhelmed and full of questions. The good thing is you have all of us to do it with you! I had surgery in May. I had almost no pain. I had tons of gas, even in my shoulders and back. So lots of walking. My first walk was late evening because they gave me lots of meds even though I had the first surgery of the day. I do know that I am grateful that I did it. I wish I had done it years ago!! Hear for you! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Hi sorry I am just seeing this. But everyone gave some great suggestions especially Popsicles. Watermelon saved my life. It was all I could manage when I was dehydrated. I really hope and pray that you are feeling better. Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

I had nausea and acid reflux at 6 weeks. Got dehydrated. Got prescription for zofran and Pepcid. Had low potassium and magnesium. Things have gotten better. Give the doctor a call. They will look into it before it goes too far. I waited and suffered and then spent 4 days in the hospital. Wish you well. Blessings! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

So happy for your approval!!! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Haven't been brave enough to try hot yoga yet. When I am in better shape I plan to give it a whirl. Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

For years I wanted to go to a Yoga class. Yesterday I attended my first class! I was able to hang for the whole class. So I was beyond thrilled! Afterwards my sister and I walked on the treadmill for a couple miles and spent some time on the stepper too. We finished up with a healthy fruit Protein smoothie from the gym's bar to celebrate! Can't wait to try Zumba and Pilates!!! Loving this sleeved life! Blessings! Surgery - 05/15/2013 Down - 63 lbs

When I am scheduled to go back to VA I will let you know so we can schedule a class. I usually stay over. So we will have to do it! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Hope your surgery goes well. I like the yoga and am really getting into it. Let me know how it goes. Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

The name of it is Auto-immune Issues and VSG. It has been good info with others on this journey. Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Be encouraged! You will get there. Believing for your healing! There is a auto-immune thread. Might be some info to help and encourage you. A lot of us have gone into remission after surgery. I have not taken meds since April after 20 years of meds. You will make it to the bench! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Beautiful!!! Congrats!!! Go get those 9!!! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

Keep going BeachBum! You are doing great!!! Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

SC Southern Sleevers how are you? Where are you on your journey? I had surgery in May. Down over 64. Doing well. Hope you are encouraged. Give us an update!!!

Trust me Potassium is worst to drink. It was salty orange goop. And the cup was Huge. So hang in there. Blessings ~ Melody (BlessedFun2)

I was diagnosed with all of those too. Celiac Disease prepared me well for the Sleeve journey. I am used to preparing my food ahead of time. I always carried food with me just in case nothing was available for me. It has helped too that carbs are low on my list. I was Sleeved May 15 and am down over 63. Blessings!
