Where are you located? I had a BMI of 39 without the diabetes and I was accepted. I am sure that my doctor would accept you.

I am sorry to hear that your band slipped. So, how was the first year with the band? It sounds like it was a positive experience for you.

I am feeling much better. This forum has been great support for me. I feel that with the online support and once I start attending group sessions at Mercy, I will be fine. Things are strarting to look better. Right now, I am just experiencing gas pain and the nausea has subsided (thank god). I hate that Christmas is coming up and I will not be able to eat anything. I wonder if I will be able to eat soft foods by then, maybe some mashed potatoes?

I felt bad that you have not had any replies. I don't have any answers for you as I only had my surgery less than a week ago, but I did have a question. Your surgery was last April and you are just now getting your first fill in December? Did I comprehend you correctly?

I also wanted to thank everyone for their encouraging comments and support. It is so helpful to hear others that are going through the same thing. They have a support group on Tuesday nights at the hospital that performed the surgery for us. I have yet to attend (just had surgery thursday). Does everyone else have a similar set up at their hospital? Our doctor will not give us a fill until we have attended a number of sessions post op. Mercy Hospital Dr. Bonomo Chicago, IL surgery- December 7th

The day I was picked up from the hospital, my husband bought barbeque and french fries drowned in barbeque sauce. I could have killed him. He has been eating like crazy while I am on a liquid diet and get up at 3 a.m. hungry because I have had a lack of calories. Surgery was December 7th. It is the 11th and I have actually held down 3/4 cup of carnation instant breakfast. this has been the first thing that I have been able to drink without feeling sick and nauseated afterwards. i guess things are getting better. I am experiencing gas pains but the nausea is subsiding. I am starting to feel that I may be able to live with this decision.

I had my surgery on december 7th. I feel hungry, nauseated, and it lots of pain. I too just want the thing removed. When will this pass? I am anxious depressed hungry, and have even cried over this dilemma yesterday. i feel that i was ill prepared for the post op experience.

I was wondering about people's experience with nausea and pain after surgery. My surgery was on Thursday. It is now Monday and I am having a difficult time

Okay, surgery was Thursday, December 7th. It is now Monday, December 11th, and I feel like crap. I am nauseated, sore, weak, dehydrated and feel like i can't do anything. Does anyone know when this will pass?

Okay, how is everyone today? My surgery was on Thursday, December 7th. It is now Monday and I feel horrible. I am sore, nauseated, and missing food. Feel week and dehydrated. Can somebody please share their personal experiences on when this should pass? I have a one year old, two year old, and a six year old and i can barely get up to take care of myself let alone them!
