At the moment, if anything, it's a little worse to be honest. I think that's only really because they stopped the Protonix I was on while I was in the hospital, and now I'm playing catch up. I get a lot of reflux if I lie flat, and I'm having a lot of burping. Hopefully it will all resolve shortly, though.

So very excited for you Anne! Do you have family traveling with you to TX? You know, I stalked this site for a couple of months, afraid to say anything and the closer I got to my 12/26 surgery I realized that the people here are all so supportive and wanted the best for everyone that I just had to join in. Now I hope that I will be able to give confidence to someone contemplating the surgery! I will keep you in my prayers!
Best of luck to you Kate and Jess...I had my rearrangement of my insides on 12/26..You will do amazingly well!
I already feeling much better...I am up and walking, I've taken 4 - 1/4 mile walks today.
FINALLY passing gas....oh what a relief it really is! lol. I know you will both do great!
I have had a love/hate relationship with the scale all my life. Since I started REALLY trying to weight pre-op (October), I have been religious about weighing myself regularly. It keeps me honest, and I am thankful for a record of my downward journey. All the times in my life I have regained weight, I have stopped weighing myself. Lesson has been learned for me.

My surgery was december 5th. I had no complications so far! Dr. Lowe in charlotte is the greatest!
Get a scale! Get a scale! U will need one soon. My average weight loss is 5lbs every 5 days 2 weeks post op this December. If u don't get one u will lose track. Keeping track is very serious. I stopped doing exercises for a few days and my weight loss stalled. I started back last week and lost 5lbs. I did it to prove to myself that the surgery works and it does. All of myhealth problems are reversing and my surgeon took me off of 2 of my medicines so far. I suspect by the time i meet with my nutritionist again i will weigh so much less than where i started from she will actually cry. I have hated the scale all my life but now i dare not go over 7 days without weighing myself. You owe it to yourself to have a scale in your home. It will be your only true friend in your weight loss journey!
Yours will be coming soon, and I'm looking forward to celebrating YOUR victories too!
