Well I got the gastric bypass done on July 16 on my birthday. I was ok with that. I went and left the next day at 6pm. I really felt fine until the gas pain hit. But I got up and walked and that seemed to help a lot. I didn't have to take much pain meds. On the 22nd I got the drain tube out now that was something. It didn't hurt but it didn't feel good. I have lost 25 pounds already and I can't wait to lose more. Only thing I am on the full liquids still and I am sick of it already. I really don't...

My first goal is to hit the 100 pound weight loss mark. It is still so strange for me to have success at weight loss, I have been a failure with it for...

Well I've had my CT scan Tuesday of this week 21st July. On my return a letter was waiting from the hospital telling me that I had an appointment for 7th August for Transvaginal Ultrasound. OMD's. I guess that means that I wont be having my surgery until Sept. then. I've decided not to stress myself out about anymore as I'm a believer in nothing ever happens before the time and everything happens for a reason. God knows what he's doing, although I might not be able to see it yet. I'm...

EXCUSE ME! I have made the choice for lap band and I have made it for me....not for any one else. I made the choice for MY reasons,...
