I'm doing well. Stomach pain isn't too bad today. I'm able to move around more. I'm still sipping on crystal light and Water. I don't have an urge to drink or eat anything but SF popsicles. I can't wait until the gas pains subside. That's the worst of it all. I'm on Lortab for the pain and it really helps a lot, although it does put me to sleep. I appreciate your kind words and I'm wishing you all much success during your journey. I will keep you all posted;-) If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I was sleeved on the 23rd. I do feel sore when the loritab wears off. I have been taking it every 4 hours. I may need a refill. I have no appetite so broth and crystal light are working great. I am a little concerned that i am coughing up some junk. Hope things continue to get better.

Congrats on your surgery. Hope you have a great recovery too!

Chelle...that cough could be a side effect of the pain medicine...some people are sensitive to them. I am. If you call the doctor and report it, they might change it for you. I know coughing isn't fun, and then to have a cough and surgery is not at all fun to overcome.

Well I was just kicking a cold last week and now it seems like I may have relapsed. Watching for a fever. My son just went to get me a thermometer. Thank you for telling me about the possibility of pain meds causing it.

      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.
