    Just wanted to say "hi" and hope all is well with you. I'm also in Southern Ohio and was looking for others in the area who have been sleeved. I'm scheduled for surgery on May 20th!

    Hi there! So happy to meet someone who lives really close to me and has had the experience with the same doctor. I am scheduled for surgery April 11 with Dr. Northrup..my pre-op appointment is March 19! I am so excited! How was your experience with Dr. Northrup? Hospital stay? Any details that you can provide would be greatly appreciated! I see all kinds off feedback about the Mexico doctors but can't find much on my doctor.... thank you! I am excited and nervous!

    Congratulations to you too! I am doing well. Just have gas pains here and there. I came home today. How are you doing? I feel like I'm starving and my stomach is growling constantly, but I'm wondering if it's gas bubbling in my stomach? I don't know what's going on.

So sick...

by mjshough on 02-17-2012 at 07:02 PM
I was sleeved on Tuesday 02/14 and I am so sick feeling all the time. The pain isn't so bad, but the hunger pains and gas is almost unbearable. I can't tell sometimes if it is hunger pains or gas and everything makes me sick. I started on my pureed food diet today but it doesn't seem to fill me up. Not sure how much I really can eat and afraid to eat too much. I haven't thrown up, but just nauseous ALL the time. I wonder if I have come down with the flu on top of it all. I am headachey too.

2 days out...

by mjshough on 02-16-2012 at 12:09 PM
At home resting today and in a little bit of pain. Still getting rid of some of the gas and that does help. Not really eating much though - one can only eat so much jello and popsicles in one day! Thankfully I start on my pureed diet tomorrow. I feel SO hungry, but afraid to eat too much so I don't get sick. I hope this all passes soon - I just want to get back to normal. LOL!

Officially a sleever!!

by mjshough on 02-14-2012 at 09:47 PM
I had my surgery earlier today and I am feeling pretty good! Hardly any pain, and I have already been up walking. So thankful that my mom is spending the night with me. It is always nice to have your mommy at times like this!! I am so excited to being this journey! I lost 14 lbs during my pre-op!! It is a wonderful feeling that I have done this!

Officially ONE more day left!

by mjshough on 02-12-2012 at 11:27 PM
I can't believe that I am about to have surgery! I have been waiting for this moment for 5 long years. I have one more day of work left, and I just hope it flies by. Packing tomorrow night and getting ready for Valentine's day for my son. Come Tuesday my life will change forever. Not gonna lie, the past 2 weeks have been so hard, and shamefully I admit that I have cheated. It is mind over matter thing and I realize that. Even though the cheating wasn't exteme, it was cheating nonetheless

5 days til surgery!!

by mjshough on 02-08-2012 at 11:06 PM
I only have 5 more days til surgery! The hospital called me today with my surgery time and all the instructions for the big day. I still have to go get more blood work and an ekg on Saturday. I guess after I talked with the hospital it really just seems so final and real!! I am exhilarated that this day is FINALLY here! I have been wanting this for at least 5 years. *Sigh*

I do have a question though. I see so many people talking about a drink that cleanses them out before
