ALL THE GORE!!!!!!

I FINALLY updated my profile, if'n ya wanna see the details....such that I remember.... Smooch Arlies

I read your whole profile. I found it very informative! Thanks! You really went through "it" to get this surgery - I'm so happy that it all worked out for you! God had a plan alright! Keep drinking tha****er - MORE MORE MORE!!! HUGS Kimberly

Arlies sounds like you kinda experieced some of what I did. The day after surgery, I had to go down and stand for x-rays, then right over to the other machine for the swallow tests!! GROSS!! One bad thing, when they said take a swallow.. I forgot about the 1 oz pouch and took a huge swallow, like I use to do on upper GI's (they make you take big swallows and keep drinking until they stay stop) Now about the IV's OMG... I had a vein to blow and the fluid went into the tissues.. it hurt like heck! And the potassium in the IV? My arm starting hurting...then my shoulder....and I paniced.. I thought I was having a heart attack. That stuff hurts. And I have tried the liquid potassium also, YUKE, DOUBLE YUKE! Needless to say, I have only taken it once. I have always had a problem with low potassium. At my 3 month lab work, it was slightly low. Keep drinking and drinking and drinking and walk walk walk.....Can't way to see ya SKINNY MINNIE! ~Jo~ Love ya!!!!!

I think you did very well I know it's scary but I can't wait to have it done. how did you loose 30lbs from dec 9th i think that is awesome. I hope I'm that lucky before and after the surgery.your doing great

Your X-Ray doc was a jerk...I cant believe he said those things. I remember crying in recovery. I dont know why. I dont know what I was feeling. I think I was just scared. I wanted my family. I wanted to know I was okay. Its funny that you told yourself per Kristi --"Everyday it gets better"...I had to keep telling myself that. She told me it would get better and she was right. It does... everyday. But I sure didnt think it was going to. You are doing amazingly well... Your such a loser!!
