Eva.. So glad you are doing better and yes it is so scary. I am too thinking about progressing into our new lives. I was so scared yesterday. Was doing great and then started vomiting everything up including pains meds. I was admitted back into the hospital today and had to have a second surgery to fix and intestinal stricture. Oh my was it awful. But seem ok now.

Peachee, I hear you! Hope you feel better. I'm siting here in the hospital after my second surgery. I had an intestinal stricture. What a bitch. I was SOOO sick. Nothing would stay down. Horrible gas pains since nothing would stay down. Feeling better now but wow I wish I hadn't done this over the last 24 hours. Hoping things pick up now.

No stomach noises just still bad gas pains. Still on pain meds just in case. Burping a lot but no gas. I know tmi but I really wish I did have it. Gas is all In my lower abdomen. Living on Popsicles and water. Not ready for broth or protein yet. Less nauseated. So that's good. Hope all are well. Have a great thanksgiving!!!

Wow way to go! Mine took over two weeks.

I had mine Monday and Planning on going back 12/10. So far so good!

You don't have to. I'm not telling my family. It will be hard but it's none of their business. Just say you are on a strict diet or don't feel well. I know how you feel. Good luck.

Well day two and so far so good. It is the little things like underwear that make you happy. Liquids seem to be ok and the pain is manageable. Going to order another Popsicle. Should go home this afternoon. :-). Good luck to all the surgeries today and hope all are doing well from this week!

Hi guys!! 24 hours post op now and I'm doing pretty good. Sipping water. Walking a bit and cleaned my self up! Lol. Off the pain pump thank God! It was making me so nauseated. Let me tell you dry heaves and hiccups suck!! It's hard to keep from falling a sleep which makes drinking hard. Ordering a SF raspberry Popsicle for dinner. Yea ! Glad to hear my surgery buddies are ok!!

I'm in my room. Gas pains and I'm nauseated. Order than that I seem ok

Wow. Great job and good luck on the last 20!!

Wow that's amazing!!! Yea!!!

Aimee: hi and welcome!! This is the best place to be for info! I've been here since July and today is my big day! I would recommend watching the November and December surgery postings in the pre-op forum and the same ones in the post-op forums. You can literally "watch" all of us progress thru the process from the start. Great info and it helps with the nerves to know what to expect. You will also learn a lot the dr don't tell you. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask any question here. No one is judgmental and very helpful!!

I did meet with mine earlier on and then about two weeks before. Very brief meetings. The PA and nurses handle everything else.

Hi guys! I'm seven hours out from my surgery and I'm surprised how fine I am. I'm starved and thirsty but I've decided this is the best thing for me. I'm so tired of fighting the weight battle with no real success. I pray this tool will help me like it has with so many others. Good luck to my surgery buddies today!! :-).

Wow shakes after three days. Ill be on clear liquids for a week. Glad you are ok so far.

Oh Kelly same here!! I just want this to be over. Plus my mom is going to drive me crazy. :-)

Amanda welcome!! Glad to hear you are doing well!!

Way to go!!!

I just can't believe mines tomorrow!!

Jessi. I agree. Mines tomorrow and so afraid of failing. I'm scared but this board has helped me sooo much. I know what can happen and so much info the dr don't tell you. Thanks all!!

I was thinking of the band too but the failure rate and the port was not something I could deal with. Also I want the fear of dumping. Sad but true. I'm a sweet nut! Good luck and welcome.

Wow nice job! I'm really happy for you!
