In the hospital, I think I had more pain than I do now that I am home. I would just say I'm uncomfortable as of now. Definitely gassy and I have to sleep sitting up because my belly is pretty sore. Nothing I can't tolerate though

I had 7

Feeling great today!

After terrible pain, blood loss, two transfusions, and sleepless nights, I get to go home today! It was toughest thing I've ever gone through in my life, but I would not change it for anything. My parents visited me lay night and brought McDonald's. I sat there and though in my head, "why I the world did I ever eat that?" I was satisfied with a few bites of chicken broth and a cube of Jello. I'm happy!

They have to eat too. They were on the hospital with me since Monday morning without food and it didn't bother me one bit that they ate in front of me. They've supported me through this ENTIRE process.

I started the first week of January and had surgery this past Monday. It flew by for me!

?

I was doing well all day yesterday, but then I started draining like crazy. I had to have 2 blood transfusions. My doctor said it was because all of the blood thinners during surgery. I feel a little better this morning, but I'm dying for some water! Hopefully tonight!

I had surgery this morning. Post op was really hard for me. Got to my room and things slowly started getting better. I took about 5 laps throughout the day in the halls. The only thing that is bugging me to no end is the anesthesia. I've been burping a lot, but it seems like every time I get back to my room from a walk, I have terrible neck pain from the gas. To me it's about 100% more painful than my stomach. Anyone have any ideas? The last attack was the worst. Will it get better soon?

My surgery is on Monday. A few days ago, I wasn't nervous at all. Now I am. I've never had any kind if surgery before. I've been waking up every few hours and I just lay there and think about it. But on the other hand, four days till I start my new life! April 15th!

My surgery is set for April 15th. My doctor put me on a two week pre op diet. Two meals substituted with a Protein shake and one meal with 4oz of meat and half of a cup I veggies. I'm one if those people who hear from others that 'I don't need the surgery'. I thought I ate fine before, but now I'm going crazy! I never really at much during the day before, but was a night eater. In having the worst time stopping myself from eating more than what I'm allowed to with the diet. I'm afraid and embarrassed that if I'm having a bad time now that it will be torture after the 15th. Maybe I just need some motivation

You guys are an awesome confidence boost! Just what I needed. I'm allowed sugar free drinks. I think I've drank my weight in crystal light and propel in three days. I am doing a little better today with cravings. 12 more days!

Sorry if this is a weird question. I gained most of my weight after high school. With that, I developed asthma. I was wondering if anyone after losing weight had improvement with their asthma. I've noticed the more weight I gain the worse it is for me.

Illinois!

Anyone getting surgery through Silver Cross in New Lenox?

I went to my psych evaluation yesterday and that went well. Today I had my pulmonary tests. I have asthma and for some reason the breathing test wore me out. I ha I keep retaking them till the nurse saw I was getting tired an dizzy. I go back in two weeks for my results. I have my cardio appointment on valentines day. That is the one that I'm dreading. After that I meet with the surgeon one more time to set up a surgery date. Starting to get more nervous ????

I'm 23. I went last week to meet with the surgeon and he told me thus was a great step for me and my future. I scheduled all my appointments for the next three weeks and he said surgery could be done early spring. I'm really only nervous for my psych evaluation tonight. I've never been one to talk about being overweight and I hate being judged????

Thank you! It went a lot better than I thought it would.
