Home from the hospital and feeling great so far!!!:D The surgery went well. I was able to get up shortly after getting to my room. I did a few laps around the hallway. I am a little sore but no major pain...which is good b/c I am a lghtweight when it comes to pain. Ive made a yummy Protein Shake and will have some broth soon. My mom is staying with me for a few days but I would have been fine alone to. Hubby works long hours so its nice to have her here.

I am ready for this new journey and looking forward to taking back my life. I am tired of beeing ruled by food. I know its going to be a long haul but I know I can do it. I need to take it one day at a time.

Peace~

Glad to hear that everything went well! You sound like me when I had my surgery! It was a piece of cake wasn't it? only troubles I had was getting up from the couch. I didnt want to bend my stomach lol my poor sister had to come help me everytime. It was pretty funny because I wouldnt bend my knees and kept like a stiff board. Now to a speedy recovery :) Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
