In the hospital again for dehydration and to have the endoscopy dialation once again. So ready to be able to eat and drink. I am 5 weeks post op and have yet been able to eat anything other than liquids. If you combine that with the 2 weeks of liquids per op that's 7 weeks of no food...only liquids. I have such buyers remorse right now. Sorry guys just venting.....I know one day I will look back and be glad I had this surgery..lout right now it just sucks.

Sorry Angela your in the hospital. I'm regretting it too. You know I was in the hospital last week for the same thing. I have to have the endoscopy again soon. I'm going to the gi dr nxt week. I so wanna feel back to normal. Hopefully after this one you will eel better

Congrats everyone

Last week 197 ,......this week 194. I guess that's not too bad considering I was in the hospital and can still barely eat or drink. I go to the gi dr next week to schedule another endoscopy procedure.

I had mine done in Fayetteville nc

I too have diabetes, sleep apnea, and a heart condition called prolong qt syndrome. Since my surgery, my diabetes has gone into remission. The doc says it appears that my blood sugar is that of a normal person. Before meals it runs about 80 to 90 and raises to 110 after meals. It is such a relief to not have to worry about the diabetes anymore. Before my blood sugar could get over 200 even on a strict diet and stay that way for hours after. I had my surgery April 3rd...so I haven't had my a1c rechecked yet. I am curious to see how much better it is. This is the main reason I had the surgery...so the relief of not having to deal with it anymore ...not having to take anything for it anymore....is worth it's weight in gold. In fact my doc said after another month of normal sugars...I will not have to check my sugars any,ore. Yay! Good luck and hope this helped.

Congrats....that's awesome

I'm with you Angela. I'm still having problems swallowing. I go to the dr tomorrow. I know I need another endoscopy done. I'm just ready to feel back to normal. I know it will come in time. congrats everyone on your weightloss!

Post op weight 220 Current weight 197 Total weight lost - 23 lbs Date of surgery April 3rd

I had roux en y on April 3rd of this year. as of Wednesday I have lost 22 lbs since the surgery. My starting weight was 220 and I currently weigh 198. I have been in the hospital the past few days due to severe dehydration. I had strictures in my stomach and esophagus....I had a dilation procedure yesterday to correct it and I should be going home today. I think my weigloss has slowed down because of my not being able to eat or drink. That's awesome abut your results! I can't wait to see results like that!

I will defiantly have to try it! My gym offers it a few times a week...I'm just afraid that I'm not going to catch on fast enough and look silly. Guess I need to get over that.

I'm in Fayetteville!

Day 23 for me and I have lost 20 lbs. yay!

Wow...that sucks. I defiantly feel your frustration. I am still in the hospital. After a ton of Iv fluids I am feeling a lot better. they did An upper gi this morning and found strictures in my pouch and esophagus so it's no wonder I have been having such a hard time swallowing even Water. The dr rigorously dilated my pouch and esophagus to get rid of the scar tissue and said I may have to have it redone in a few weeks. Had two more swallow tests and the radiation dr said my pouch looks normal now, hopefully that fixed it and I can finally eat and drink again. I just want to feel normal again. 4 weeks of barely drinking and not eating has driven me crazy. I've been so snappy at my family and friends and I do not really mean to be...but it's frustrating not being able to keep even water down. I keep telling everyone not to take my bad mood personally...but that seems to go in one ear and right out the other, Anyways....I'm just hoping this did the trick and I can move on with my recovery! Best wishes to you!!

Well I ended up in the hospital today due to dehydration. I haven't been able to keep down food or water. I will have a swallow test today and then an upper gi tomorrow. Looks like I will be here for a couple days.

Take it a day at a time. I called my doc today and have an appt for Wednesday afternoon. Yay...hopefully it won't take long to schedule the endoscopies.

I'm so excited so many people are on board for the Friday weigh in. I was so tempted to weigh myself today but I didn't. I kept telling myself I promised not to. Can't wait til Friday!

I'm so excited that so many people are on board for this. I have to admit I was super tempted to weigh myself today..lout I kept telling myself that I promised I wouldn't until Friday.

Thats awesome

I will! Are you still feeling better?

great idea! next Friday I will be sure to post. I actually didn't Weigh myself in the past couple days. I think I'm at a plateau. Dr told me not to be surprised since I can hardly take anything in. I'm having trouble even getting liquids down. I can only have very thin liquids.

Correction...meds

That's awesome....gives me hope. I've got to call the dr Monday to inform them the mess didn't work so they can schedule an endoscopy.

That's awesome. I hope they will be able to do that for me!
