Lisa, Thank goodness it's a small one. I really worried about you all night last night and wondered how you were doing this morning. Yes, that's an awsome surgeon to get you in that fast! I hear Nexium works very very well. Glad he prescribed that to you over the Prevacid - you got the best meds for it. Take care my friend. ((((hugs)))) Pam

Lisa, thanks for your well wishes and prayers. I am so tired all the time. I feel like the energy was zapped out of me. This surgery will be more difficult to get over than the lap gastric bypass. I hope that you will be feeling better soon and wishing you a speedy recovery as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs, Lucy

OH LUCY im sorry you experienced this! ((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))) glad to hear your home recuprating for a few weeks now. BE well and keep us posted of how your doing. WHAT a scary event and starting while you were out! ALL the best and your in my prayers for a speedy recovery! lisa

THANKS EVERYONE... YES PAM, I sort of new that the color i was vomitting was a bleed....and did get on the phone with the surgeon right away. THE good thing was all my nasuas eased and i stopped throwing up. SO he felt I could wait till next morning for an upper endoscopy done by him. OF course I was instructed that if i threw up more then the 3 times I had already done to phone him .......but thankfully nothing, I also didnt eat to be sure I didnt throw up i just did with a protein shake in the evening. BUT anyway as my surgeon suspected i have an ulcer. THROWING UP caused it to bleed yesterday yet it wasnt a big one and was healing so he put me on 8 weeks of nexium now. THANKS all for all your good thoughts and info

Sharon, I had kidney stones years ago and I do know the feeling. This was different. I knew that something was radically wrong when my hernias protruded out of the abdomen and were so hard like rocks. Of course, I didn't want to admit it right away. I always try the... I'll go home and lie down and get some rest and it will go away. Haha... I wasn't fooling myself. Last night I was thinking that I have to be very careful because of the higher incidence of infection with this type of surgery. I don't want to be sick anymore. A set back would be depressing to say the least. Thank you for your response and prayers. I got to love my tiny little pouch now. I can't fill it up like I used to. We'll see how the weight goes. I'll be weighing in on Saturday. Take care! Lucy
