It has officially happened, I am on the other side, woo hoo!!!
There were many times when I thought I would chicken out, or something unforeseen would happen and somehow this surgery wouldn't happen. But it did. And having it behind me now feels so good I can't even tell you. As you all know the packet takes hard work, so after doing all of that, I am finally done! No more waiting for approval, getting all my info. ready, wondering what it will feel like, waiting to meet everyone, etc.

omg gina, i'm so frickin happy for you i can hardly stand it!!!
i am so inspired by you
Have your stomach "aches" resolved? I wondered if you had made any changes to any of the medications, prilosec in particular.
I see where some post ops have continued to use prilosec even several years out. I hope that's not the case with me. I've never been one to be good at sticking with taking pills. I don't always get all my daily vitamins in because I just simply forget.
I did have a few days of gastritis when I first started into phase 3 and ate too much meat too late one night that gave me bile reflux. I doubled up on prilosec and went back to phase 2 and it resolved after about 3 days. If it hadn't gone away, I would have consulted with the Dr. I didn't realize what it was at first. My tummy was rumbling hungry all the time and then it would hurt like it was too full, regardless of what I did or didn't put in it. Finally dawned on me to look up gastritis on the Yahoo forum search engine and determined what to try first before calling the Dr. Sure hope its resolved for you.
I'm looking forward to some updated pictures of you too.
yes, i am going to dr. p.
besides living in florida, i too learned that for me personally, dr p was the right fit. i really loved your contact and am so appreciative of all your help.
