Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 I had my mgb on 10/20 and am doing great...I still have a little nausea every now and then and last night I tried three or four small bites of rice (not again)which didn't agree with me at all! I didn't have any complications with my surgery except for the patch which caused everything to be very blurry for a few days and I had a sore throat from the tubes....no problems at all from my neck down LOL....I was released from the hospital on Saturday morning and on Saturday evening my sister and I went to the mall shopping....we stayed in on Sunday and went back shopping on Monday...I went to clinic on Tuesday and back to Virginia on Tuesday evening. I stayed off work until the following Monday... I'm still mostly on juices and applesauce...I have had a few banana popsicles because they seemed to be the only thing that I could stomach at the time. The vitamins have been a problem trying to get them down....they are HUGE!! and so are the Actigall capsules..it doesn't bother me to see someone else eating in front of me.. My taste has completely changed. Foods that I thought I couldn't live without no longer interest me...or at least not now.... People are starting to notice my weight loss.....it feels good for someone to mention it to me...I haven't told but only a few people at work...the others think I'm just on a diet....I'm not telling them any different right now. Dr. R. is wonderful.....he's the first doctor that I've ever had that actually " listens " and is concerned...the staff at DRH is great too. I am looking so forward to a few months from now when I really have some major weight off... I would love to hear for my littermates of 10/20......Kate, who I spoke to in the lobby of DRH on the morning of our surgery...I haven't seen or heard from since....and ....we talked some in the hospital after our surgery....I can remember coming around a little on the evening of my surgery and was standing at the foot of my bed....I appreciated that so much....and I went and visited with her on Saturday before we checked out. Her mother is so sweet... If anyone needs a contact I will be more than happy to share my experience so far....write to me personally at karenf@... MGB 10/20/00 27 pounds gone forever......and counting........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
