Hi Kevin and welcome...I know you will find much support here, this site has kept me sane....My stats are on the tickers below...and It is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time...I had the band and it prolapsed, I had the sleeve and it didn't work..I was always so afraid of GBS, and it turns out, it has been the easiest...go figure...again, welcome and congratulations on your upcoming surgery!! -
Good luck everyone!!

vslawich@gmail.com. I could use some friends too steve!!

Do you have medical ins..it may cover it...

I would call the dr if I were you...your not moving enough, and that can cause a blood clot, which you don't need on top of everything else you got going on...maybe they can set you up with in home physical therapy, which it sounds like you could use..

are you walking enough? maybe you are getting unconditioned from not moving..I know it has to be difficult with the back surgery, but I know even myself if I dont get up and force myself to walk I feel very lethargic and weak...

Maybe you should call tomorrow and see if they can see you before wed?
-
No, not at all, i can pretty much eat and drink normally and im only 2 weeks out...I stop my self at a 1/2 cup, but I know i could eat more....have you told your dr...maybe you have a stricture....good luck...i hope everything is ok and you are just healing a little slower...

Good luck to every one having surgery tomorrow....hugs and prayers sent your way~~~
