Not feeling so hot, but it is done. I had to stay an extra day because my oxygen levels were low, but I am home now. I had some baby applesauce when I got home, now I am having a Protein Shake. I am in some pain, but not too bad. I didn't have much gas pain either. I was just so tired of sitting in that bed. Oh well. It is done now!

I am. I *was* feeling all the way back to normal, but today I seem to be really weak. I have no idea if that is normal or not. I am one week out.

excited, I had good days and bad days during the first two weeks. I'd have 3 or 4 great days in a row, and then one bad one. I think it's normal. Just keep getting that Protein and fluids in. Glad to hear you are doing ok.

How goes life at work now Barb? Your arm doing better? Good to hear things like this with days ups and downs, so I can know what I can expect in the future.

Phatmanwalking, in all honesty, most days were good, but every now and then I'll feel a little tired of not so good in between.

Update on the arm. Yesterday was my first day back to work so I used my arm quite a bit. It did swell some (not nearly as bad as before) and it hurt some as well.

Starting today, the doc has me taking aspirin twice daily. And I have to up my Nexium to 2 times a day to protect my tummy from the aspirin.

So we will see how that works. I do beleive that it is getting better, just very slowly.

I was also told to start gently massaging it during the day.

I'm still praying and hoping it goes away soon.

Thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well. :confused1:

      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.
