first of all hello to everyone. my name is eric and this is my first post here thought i would post my experience. it was nothing out of the ordinary i really didnt have any complications. except my surgery was about 3 hours because i also had an imbelical hernia fixed and the hernia was bigger than the dr expected. didn't really have any pain stomach wise in recovery. just my back realy hurt and i wanted to sit up but they wouldnt let me. so for me i didnt have any actuall pain more of a sore feeling . felt like i was hit in the stomach with a baseball bat! i even asked the dr if a baseball bat was one of his tools and he said no a 2x4 O_o . i was walking to the bathroom 3 hours after surgery and walking outside my room 5 hours after. and was sent home around 3pm the next day. as of today. 8 days post op and i feel im about 90 percent back to normal!

when i first started my options class i was 419 day of surgery i was 393 and as of today i am 366!!!

Congratulations on a complication-free surgery and on your weight loss. Twenty-seven pounds in nine days is spectacular. What are you doing to achieve that?

Congrats! I had surgery the same date! I am feeling a little bit better each day. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and hope to move on to pureed food, I am sick of the Protein shakes.

You have really done well with your weight loss, that has to make you feel good. A week after surgery I am finally back to my pre-surgery weight. I was in the hospital 3 nights and apparently all of the IV fluids got me off to a slow start.

Good luck for continued success!

Thanks everybody! As for my diet my first two days home was broth, Jello, pudding, and popsickles. After i added creame Soups for about three days. Then felt great and almost normal even tried scrambled egg with no problem so got brave and tried wendys chilli =-O i had no problem with it. And asked my dr if that was ok and if i can move to soft foods and he said no!! So now im trying home made chicken noodle and i put it in a blender...

Im taking a month of work and feel like i can return next week!! But still taking a month because of the herniA want to be carefull with that.

Yes i have kaiser. Had options at the west covina kaiser senter..and my surgery was at harber city kaiser . With dr gary belzberg. Heard great things about him. And even changed my original dr from west la kaiser to be with him.
