Hey, I am from GA too. I have not had surgery yet, but am in the process of getting approved. How has your surgery gone so far?

I'm from Floyd County! I haven't had my surgery yet but my first consultation is Friday and I've very excited. I was wondering if there was anyone on here from around here so I'm excited to meet someone that is. So are you from Rome or Bartow?

Please take my word on this starting from day one now matter how sick and nauseated you feel please please please please take all of your post-surgery pills you are supposed to like the vitamins, iron and calcium. I didn't get in that habit and I paid the price. I used the excuse I am to sick and nauseated to take my pills. I got so badly dehydrated that I had to go to the ER and it took like 6 hours!
Also, please exercise if not every day than every other day. You don't want to be like me and loose your muscles. I was sick for two months since I didn't get the proper protein (which is very very important). There are still times I have to use all of my strength and then some to pull myself up the steps of my duplex I rent. Are you near or in Bartow County?

Do you have anything positive to say about your experience, or should we ALL expect to have an outcome like yours?

As I have been saying from my previous posts I am much happier now that I am not sick any more, and glad I did the surgery. I am working towards getting a job. Not everyone will get sick like I did. But, I have heard from people I know who know people who had the same experience, I had. I just felt like I should share my experience to let people know what might happen and how they might can prevent it.
What did finally make me feel better was when I finally made myself go over and visit my Aunt and after that I just kept getting better and better.
All though I was sick I never did throw up and have not as I am writing this. I only threw up that once in the hospital the day after surgery when I had to drink that awful liquid for the x-ray.
Again, every one is different as to how their body handles the surgery.

At the time of the posts back in May I had nothing positive to say about the surgery and that is why it was all negative.

go down. My aunt nearly freaked out when I told her today I went from a 274 to a 233. Of course I had to remind her I had my surgery March 24th. She is very proud of me of course. Naturally I get to go swimming at her pool this summer. 
but I have not yet. I do get gas very badly. The only time I vomited was the day after surgery when I had to drink this nasty god awful tasting liquid for the x-ray to see if I was leaking. This stuff was so awful it should be illegal to make patients drink it.
