Thank you Amyllf2!

6 almost 7 months out and 104pds lighter =)

I'm sorry anewme954 I just saw this! I have n complaints at all about Dr Eckstein or his staff. They were all awesome very patient and kind. I've not had an complications at all from my surgery and recovery went really well. I met with Cristina 3 times and saw Dr Eckstein several times at my first appt, he did my Endoscopy and then my pre op right before surgery. Very good bedside manner and always made himself avaliable

Thank you! ????

You look amazing Bianca!

Thank you wickedbeauty!

Finally starting to see a little difference

Thank you Jess! I feel a million times better now... =). Gixxergirl- make sure to take care of you!

For about a week and a half I was having the worse nausea 24/7 everything was making me nausea... Water, crystal light, broth, even the sugar free Popsicles...I was dry heaving like crazy and nothing was coming up, a few times I had the white foam but other than that nothing. I felt horrible and didn't feel like I had energy for anything, it was all I could do just to get up to go to the bathroom. I called my doctor and he told me to go in... I ended up being put back into the hospital for severe dehydration and needing vitamin infusions...I thought I was taking in enough fluids but apparently it wasn't enough. I can't express enough no matter how hard you may think it is to get you fluids it, do it anyway...

Sounds good! I'm gonna try it!

Is there anything that we can take over the counter for this nausea?! No pain and I feel great aside from the nausea...

Thank you ladies! It's a relief to know I wasn't alone

I just had the scariest thing happen. I'm 12 days post op and got up this morning to take a shower like I always do. This morning though I was standing in the shower and all of a sudden felt dizzy. I thought maybe it was because I had the bathroom door closed and if might have got to hot so I got out and opened it. But it got worse. I got out just in time to sit down on the toilet. The room started spinning and I saw black spots and felt really out of it... Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you gixxergirl

I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Had my surgery at memorial hospital in Hollywood with Dr Eckstein

Thank you! =) right now they having me do it 10 times an hour. They're going to do a cat scan this afternoon to see they the can find anything wrong at the connection site. Definitely not going home again today =(

So I had my surgery on the 17th and I have had a consistent fever since then. All I want is my own bed and to be surround by my own things but I can't leave until I'm 24 hours with no fever ????. Not that the hospital isn't nice but I miss my daughter like crazy

Just got the call from the hospital to be there at 7 am. Surgery is at 9!!

Pre op registration with the hospital and meeting with the anesthesiologist tomorrow day 5 of the pre op diet almost over only 3 more days till surgery. Thursday can't get here fast enough

I'm feeling the same way! I'm on day two of the liquid diet. Nothing but protein shakes, yogurt and any sugar free drink that I want. I can not stand the taste of the protein shakes they make me gag as soon as the smell hits my nose. Today the head ache seems to be worse than yesterday and I feel a little "off". Like things I wouldn't normal forget or mistakes I usually wouldn't make keep happening. I keep snapping for the littlest of things but I'm also supposed to start my period this week so I'm wondering if that's making it worse.. Can't wait for this part to be over

My insurance also pays 70% and I have a 30% co insurance along with a $2000 deductible . Leaving me with about $4000 out of pocket after all is said and done. Luckily the hospital that I'm having my surgery performed at is willing to allow me to make payments monthly.

Day 1 of my 7 day liquid diet... Lord give me strength lol!! Surgery 1 week from today!!!

Congrats on your journey! Good to hear everything went well for you!! Can't wait to finally say I am on the other side. Only 13 more days!

I'm right there with you! I've got 15 days... Im more excited than nervous. But I won't lie I have days where my nerves get the best of me! Good luck to you!!
