melissac 22 Posted October 21, 2012 So tomorrow is the day! The doctor just called me to see if I had any questions and give me a couple of instructions. He is so great. Pretty much ready. Bag is packed. Family is all set up for the week. I keep thinking I am missing something. Good Luck tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nancers40 0 Posted October 21, 2012 BRAND NEW to this! My first seminar was last week after about a year of considering it and going back and forth! I am 56 years old ... three joys of my life are my precious grandchildren! (8, 7, and 5yrs. old) I lost about 100 pounds through a psychologist behavior modification program about 7 years ago and gained it all back unfortunately. NOW, ready to begin the process and this time for GOOD! I currently weigh in at 297 .. .YIKES So, lots of research, etc. ahead of me before the surgery. I was told the process takes about 6 months before the actual surgery ... so would appreciate any comments, suggestions etc. What to expect?, etc. Prayers go out to all of you!! Thanks for listening!

brandy79 39 Posted October 21, 2012 When my doctor called he explained why he wanted me to do Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. He said that a lot of people continue to be or get naucious (sp?) because even the thicker liquids or purees are too much for their "new" tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbaith25 38 Posted October 21, 2012 So i had the surgery on 10/10 & am having a hard time keeping pureed food & liquid down. Been vomiting. 2 days in a row there was blood when i vomited. Is this common? What does that mean? o_O I'm not tryin to freak you out but that doesn't sound normal to me , what color is the blood ? If its bright red I would go the ER and be evaluated , I was told it was normal the first couple of days but I would not think it is now , and if you are throwing up that's another sign something could be wrong , does your surgeon have someone on call you can ask ? If it were me I would go get checked out . Hope all is well .. Let is know .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
