Yes Kathryn, I'm very thankful that I had such an experienced surgeon available to me for my DS which has been a total life changer for me...for the better of course! I don't followup with him though, but have had no problems to require doing so either.

I am almost 6 years out, my life is so normal I sometimes forget to be grateful to the DS that did it for me. Sometimes I forget what it felt like to be judged negatively for weight, what it felt like to be out of breath and limited in what I could do. This post reminds me of all that and so my...

Hoping you start feeling better soon, take care .

Great you're switched, hope your recovery continues to be smooth.

Good Luck, hope you come through surgery with no problems.

The cramping may have been caused by the split pea soup, more likely than the cheddar soup since you used real cheese and cream for it.

I did eat tomato soup but I didn't add cheese. Greek yogurt is filling ( without lumps). When I got hungry early out I did eat soft scrambled egg with butter. I didn't add cheese. I think I hate puréed potato and puréed ( in a blender) Chinese takeout in my second week out.

Do you need a knee replacement? Or knee surgery?

Regain is common even with the band for reasons like esophageal dilatation which is now known to be a more common complication of the band than the medical community were previously aware.

It's great that you were able to reach out to those few people you did with better information. This Dr S is shockingly uneducated about his own field of specialty ( shaking my head).

Early out I discovered I was lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive. The lactose intolerance resolved gradually and first. I still get gas with gluten (wheat carbs) but I guess we all do but it no longer causes diarrhea. I wonder if there is was milk/ lactose in your cheddar soup yesterday.

Well I think you are well on the way to medical fitness and a more svelte shape. Great progress!

Congratulations! The mixed emotions are quite normal, excitement and fear all rolled into a cascade.

The pain eases a bit each day , by day four I was just uncomfortable but not in pain like the first couple of days. Hang in there it does get better.

I buy my calcium in a combination pill from costco.ca 250mg calcium citrate and 125 mg Magnesium citrate. The brand is webber.

I agree with En it's probably Magnesium oxide because it doesn't say either way in the product description. I had to make sure I had citrate for this very reason. I do use Mg oxide very occasionally for constipation now that I am further out.

Good to hear. Thanks for the update.

She didn't have pain, she has not mentioned her periods coming back she had it done in her early 40s and is now 51, so menopause may be a factor now.

My sister ( a normie) had uterine ablation , it worked well and she never needed an hysterectomy.
