Kristina thanks I will try that .

I I am 12 days post opt and my back has been killing me these last couple of days, I have never had back problems before but began after surgery anyone else experiencing this? Thanks.

Bridget it will get better perhaps the new doctor can use the same incision sites, stay focus don't get depress your in better hands now, I honestly believe that .

Roll call I am here surgery went great on May 19 and i am now 24 pounds down since surgery its great to be here on the losers bench, I didnt think I was going to get here because the entire process took me 9 months but it was so well worth the wait. Hello and congrats to everyone. Now if I can just get my frecking back to stop hurting.

Hi I am 12 days post opt and had surgury on May 19 all my gas was gone by that Friday, congrats on your choice to be healthy, and welcome to the losers bench, each day gets better and before you know it will be gone remember to walk and try a heating pad it help me and good luck.

I am sorry that this has happened to you and I agree with the other statement it is better he did not work on you because he sounds unprofessional, get a new surgeon stay focus because you can dod this and keep us posted.

Hello everyone i am 1 week and 5 days post opt and down 25 pounds, besides back pain now im doing great , its glad to be on the looser bench. congrats to you all as well.

I agree with the above statements do not buy a lot of stuff because your taste will changes, trust me you will get sick of chicken broth / soup and Jello I bought so much that now I am giving it away to my nieces, and I am only 1 week and a half out. The only thing that I would probably add to your list will be soft foods like tuna and any mush meat. Good luck nd congrats on your choice to be healthy.

Mskiesha29 first congrats on your choice to be healthy this is an exciting time for you,, I hope you get your surgery date soon, before you know it you will ge on the losers bench. I will hold a spot for you, keep us posted and good luck.

Yes my doctor advise me and because I only wanted to gave one serious surgery I went with the bypass, gerd is awful to have and I didn't want to risk it las well as have my insurance not approve a second surgery since it is so expensive. This is why all the required test are vital in making the best choice to be healthy. Good luck. I don't regret my decision at all especially with health care changing every year I wasn't taking any chances.

Try and see if your primary doctor can be described something I had the same thing and my primary doctor prescribed me meds and I was all better in time for surgery it was the best $10.00 copay I ever paid good luck .

I have to agree with statements mentioned above take one day at a time and try and focus on something else, reading, walking, or a new hobby, stay focus on the prize because as you know everyday it gets better and this too shall pass, if things continue i will go to a support group meeting or talk to someone perhaps your doctor can recommend someone. Good luck.

Tgarden lol thanks and yes it feels great to be on this side , I didnt think I was ever going to get here because of the long process but I did. The hardest part was the waiting and all that dam broth I do not wait to ever see broth again lol. Or anything that resembles chicken noodle Soup or beef soup. LOL I am feeling better more every day and I a actually looking to going back to work. I go to my first two week post opt appointment next Wednesday. And I am looking forward to it. How do you or anyone else, eat. I find eating such a bore and because I am not hungry at all I have to force myself to eat and drink my Protein. But I do love premiere Protein shakes and Isopure grape frost . BM is regular and i have no only probems the biggest hurdel for me in this journal was the waiting and the gas after surgery but once that was out I was ok. I hope everyone else recovery is going as good as mine.

You look great keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.
