That's about how long it took me to get my appt with.them as well. I had a diff doc, but same location. I agree, I love Donna, and Eileen has been a Godsend.

DivaT, glad it was not "serious". Today, I was not paying attention and ate too much, too fast. I did not toss my cookies, but it WAS miserable. So glad to have this group, previous posts assuredly that others here have done it too. If you have not, I don't recommend it.

I'm sorry. I should have told you I invited you to the private one... That must have been upsetting.

I just added you as a friend. I'm Christa.

What works best for everyone? Days, nights, weekends? We should also pick somewhere central... I know we are spread all over the Valley.

I will be on my laptop later. O can create one for us. Do we want this to be an open or closed/hidden Facebook group?

YES! It's my major struggle. I suspect it's why I'm feeling a bit light headed.

Mine is a non-hernia repair, and the one by my belly button is bruised as well. My right side still hurts, but it is better every day. So it's not just you guys!

Mine are the same. Liquid mostly, and until yesterday, frequent. Also, decent amounts of gas.

I'm still too heavy for my home scale, so first weigh in will be at my 2 week post op appt. After that, it will be weekly as well. Tuesdays also. I'm feeling pretty alert today. I feel like the inside stuff is more comfortable, and I'm at half my protein for the day.

I was released from the hospital today - YAY! Finding that I have slept most of the time. I'm a little more nauseous than I was in the hosp, and TMI, but pooping is taking it out of me. My NUT says I need to be at 80g protein, but that will take time. Work up to it. I'm shooting for 40 tomorrow. 60 if I can manage it.

Congrats, joliebug! Glad to hear its going better with you. I'm day 2 past surgery. I hope to go home today. I'm doing well in the hospital, took one dose of pain meds early this morning, and one dose of nausea meds in the past 24 hours.

Podkemeni. I'm do.e. first time on my phone since surgery. I was groggy for a LONG time. Feel pretty ok now.

I'm in phoenix as well. I'm at Banner Gateway.

Congrats to all of today's sleevers! My surgery is at noon, and I'm up. I still have to pack and finish up a few last minute things. Am I nervous? A little. I'm ready for my new life. Ready to be able to physically do the things I want to do ready to have the outside match the inside. I pray all goes well, that we are able to clearly see the changes as we get smaller, and the we take life by the hand and drag it behind us. LET'S GO!! WE GOT THIS!!

T minus 28 hours and counting. Now is when.I'm getting a little nervous.

Moka, One of the great things about God is that He knows intimately how to walk alone down a road where he is beaten, ridiculed, and ashamed. He will NEVER EVER let you suffer alone. I'm praying that you see Him coming from the people around you. Every whisper of encouragement, every kind touch, every nurturing presence is His love for you, His child. he and I are well acquainted. I will be praying for you with everything I have. I have my surgery the same day you do. If you want someone to call, feel free to IM me for my number.

Telling my doc...
