Hi everyone! Well it's been 5 month now! I'm now 165 pounds and a size 14!!! I feel so great!! Today I tryed on a pair of unwashed size 12 and I was able to button them up, without sucking in my stomach!! I almost cryed!! I've never been a 12. I thank God and Dr. Nakeeb I would have this surgery again in a flash!! I've had very little problems, I threw up a lot in the beginning but when I slowed down my eating that pretty much stopped ( hard to break old habits) and I'm lactose-intolorent now but a very small price to pay to loose so much weight. I can't eat sweets no more but thats a good thing cause that what got me to 250 lbs any how. Eggs make me naususe but I think thats because scrambled eggs are the first thing they feed me afther surgery, but I can stomach part of an omlete. Wierd I now but whatever, I don't care, I only weight 165!!!!! whoo-hoo!!!! Good luck to all waiting to be approved it's worth the weight!!

Been awhile since I've been on. I'm now almost 6 months post-op and I feel GREAT!!! I've lost almost 80 pounds and am feeling pretty great about myself. Am now in a 14/16 was 24/26 When I had my surgery. Can eat almost anything I want but no more sweets (causes dumping) and am now lactose intolerent. But to be so much thinner and healther a price I'm more then willing to pay. Eating is now more of just something I have to do instead of wanting to (often need to remind myself to eat) Oh one thing, if I have a drink, I get drunk way faster!! You become a very cheap date!!

Well it's now been one week and a day since my surgery and I'm feeling great! I've already lost 17 pounds!! I can't remember ever losing so much weight so fast. My time at the hospital went real fast, I had my surgery on a tue and went home Thur. afthernoon. The pain has been no where near what I thought it was going to be, I've had worse period cramps, But I'm sure the morphine had a big hand in that. I was up walking in the hallway for the first time on tue around 6:30pm a little less then 12 hours afther my surgery, my knees where a little rubbery but it actually felt kinda good to get out of bed and move those sore muscles from lieing on a small operation table for 3 hours. I had my swallow study late Wed. morning ( that stuff you have to swallow taste horrible!!) no leaks so about 2 hours afther that I was able to drink some water. Water never tasted so good!! I was so thirsty!! I was even able to take a shower on Wed, it kind of tired me out but it felt good since I had been running a fever on Tue and Wed since I wasn't making myself cough enough. So don't forget to cough when you get out of surgery everyone : ) My fevers would go down about 1/2 hour afther I made myself cough up some of the phlem in my lungs. The ride home was kind of hard though, it hurt every time we went over a bump, I sould of thought to take some pain med. before I left. Other then that everything was pretty unevental. Sorry about the spelling errors I'm not a very good speller. I'm ready to go back to work I'm getting pretty bored just sitting around, but since I'm a bartender that won't be for another 3 to 5 weeks. My husband keeps scolding me that I'm over doing it at home. Yesterday I agreed because I shampooed the carpet not a very smart idea because I was in alot of pain later that night. I just feel so good it's hard for me not to do anything. Well as I lose more weight I'll do another update, next Wed I go back to see Dr. Nakeeb for my 2 week follow up. Bye for now, Angela
