  1. I didn't tell too many people I was having the surgery. As the psychiatic doctor who did our evals and runs the support group says.. " our health is private information".

    The statics show that with conventional weight loss programs a obese person has a 90% ( number can be a little off) chance of gaining all weight back within a year.

    A person who has bariatric surgury and follows the program has a much higher rate of keeping that weight off. Too early can't remember those exact numbers.

    Have faith in yourself. I myself did not do this surgery to fail.

    I am following the book.

    So far so good. Much luck to you!


  2. Just wanted to say hello my name is Robin .

    I just had my surgery last Friday April 2,2010.

    I was held over night ( my doctor said I looked too green). I was glad he was being careful. I have a history of vomiting after surgery. I was given a seasick patch behind my ear,seabands and I still was green. I didn't vomit. YEAH! Post op I had the left shoulder pain. That was a 8-9 at times. I had so much gas. Unfortunatly the other problem I had was a IBS attack. Although it doesn't take much to bring one on . Shoulder pain is gone, diarrhea as well. The surgery itself wasn't a problem. BUT.... the port is on my right side at my waistline and because I was having extreme diarrhea for three days the port location is SORE!!! Hopefully this to shall pass. Especially when the belly folds of fat decrease.

    Time for rest.
