Recommended Posts

I am so excited and so nervous! Have to be in Dallas by 5:30 am. I live over an hour away so that means I will be getting up very early.

Please pray all goes well! I've lost 13# this last week doing the lowcarb and liquid thing.

Looking forward to losing a lot more!!!

Doing good. Am home now. My surgery didn't happen till after 10 am. There was an emergency surgery that had to be done before mine.

Anyways - all is well. I have a little pain pump hanging around my neck for the incisions. It somehow just gives the right amount right to the cuts and when the little ball gets empty (they say a few days) I take it out and throw it away. Weird!!

The only pain I am in is gas pains and it's pretty much kicking my bootie!!

Michelle praying all went well with you and your surgery today!!!

I used Dr. Wade Barker and love him.

I am in terrible pain today. Either this pump ain't working or this gas is still killing me. I don't know what it is. I hate the liquid pain meds they gave me, probably should take it to help but it tastes HORRIBLE and also it makes me feel funny. I hate feeling out of it. KWIM?

Still very gassy and hurting... not as bad with the pain meds now though. I am just forcing myself to take them no batter how bad the taste is.

      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.
