    Hi Nkemji,
    I am a newbie here, I am 55 and a nervous wreck about my health.
    I read about your procedure from last year. How are you doing?
    I am anxious to know all the pros and cons!
    Right now menopause is exacerbating everything I have so I need the weight off!
    Waiting for credit approval right now! Pray for me!!!
  2. hi miss bean...it has been quite a while!!! how r u? i haven't been on here in ages...too busy. I'm doing ok. since my surgery on feb 6, i have lost 32 pounds...not a lot, but considering i am doing absolutely NO exercise it's not surprising. however i can live with this and i will get to exercising sooner rrather than later. how r u doing?

    Well it's been almost 4 weeks for you now, how are you feeling? I hope all is going well with you and that you are back on your feet and not having any problems now.

    I'm glad you are feeling a little better. I think the initial shock to you bodies is quit a lot and it will take some time for our bodies to process it all. My thoughts are with you and hope everyday is a little better. Take care and talk to you soon.

insomnia

by nkemji on 02-12-2013 at 10:12 AM
6 days post surgery and I'm having insomnia! Anyone else having that issue? I suspect it may be as a result of some of the medication i am on, as well as being unable to find a comfortable position....what to do.

I am definitely feeling better with each passing day.

Day 5 post surgery......

by nkemji on 02-11-2013 at 08:22 AM

i am trying to drink as much as possible to keep hydrated.

4 days post op what can i take for gas?

by nkemji on 02-10-2013 at 07:39 PM
The gas is killing me! I have been drinking ginger tea,but that barely helps. I'm feeling it in my left upper back and sometimes the lower.

I have been burping, but nothing from the other end. Also, I have not done a number 2 since surgery! What to do? I need some relief!

the doctor has given me a slew of medications-antibiotics, pain, iron and one to prevent clots.
i have no doubt whatsoever that i have made the right decision, but right now i feel as
