One Week Post-op
Apr 24, 2009
Surgery went great!! No complications!!!! Too bad things went down some from there. 5 days post-op I was still only able to take just the smallest sip of liquid, and if I tried a little bigger sip, the stomach pain would double me over.........to add to all that I had constant acid reflux even though I was already taking Nexium. I went to the doc and he confirmed that the band prime he put in at the time of surgery left me too tight. Erin removed .7 cc's and what a relief. I was told that even though they were sorry, that a least I will know in the future what an overfill feels like right away if it happens and be able to tell them before I would leave the office.
Anyway all is now well, I can still feel the restriction so I may not need any adjustment soon!! We went to the store today to explore the world of mush

The Beginning
Apr 09, 2009
Hi all.....Just a little background. It seems as I read the blogs and experiences that I am one of the older people to start this process. I am 54, 6 feet tall and weighed at the start of this 344lbs. I suffer from sleep apnea, type II diabetes, acid reflux, depression, and I have only one kidney due to cancer. I have been trying to get approved for surgery since June of '08.
Well that's the background....now the good stuff! I have a surgery date of 04/16/09 and I am SO READY!! I dropped almost 20lbs on the pre-op diet, and to show how ready, or crazy, I am, I actually started the diet BEFORE I had to....
6 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!
