HOW IS EVERYONE DOING?  LET ME GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ABOUT ME.  (SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO POST BEFORE, MANY COM. PROBLEMS) 
I AM DOING GREAT.  I HAVE LOST ABOUT 61-63 LBS SINCE MY SURGERY.  IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, AND MY DOCTOR (DR. CAMACHO) SAID I WAS DOING GREAT, AND EXPECTS ME TO LOSE MINIMUM OF 100 LBS BY MY FIRST YEAR!!!  I SURE HOPE SO, ALTHOUGH I AM ABLE TO EAT MORE NOW.  BY THIS I MEAN, A BIGGER PIECE OF PROTEIN, AND A TOAST. ETC, ETC....I CAN NOT, NOT EAT SUGAR COOKIES, OR FRIED FOODS BECAUSE I WILL GET SICK.  ALSO, IF I EAT TOO FAST, SAME THING HAPPENS.    PHYSICALLY, I FEEL GREAT, HAVE SO MUCH MORE ENERY, AND JUST TODAY I JOINED A GYM TO HELP ME ALONG WITH MY FOOD RESTRICTION.  I RECOMMEND THIS SURGERY TO ANYONE WHO IS TIRED OF TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT, (AFTER MANY TRYS) AND WHO WANTS TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES.  IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK.  I DONT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP TO ANYONE, I AM HERE
TAKE CARE

IT HAS BEEN A ROUGH ROAD BUT I AM DOING SO MUCH BETTER.  EVEN BETTER NOW THAT I HAVE LOST 28 POUNDS SINCE MY SURGERY.   THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WERE THE HARDEST.  I WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN;  PAIN ON THE SITE OF WHERE I HAD THE DRAIN (I CAME HOME WITH A DRAIN AND HAD IT FOR TEN DAYS), PAIN DUE TO GAS, AND PROBABLY PSYCHOLOGICALLY PAIN! HA!  THE THIRD WEEK WAS BETTER, STILL HAVING SOME DISCOMFORT AND GAS PAIN BUT NOT AS BAD.  THANK GOD.  I AM EXACTLY 4 WEEKS AND ONE DAY OUT.  DOING BETTER, FEELING BETTER, MORE ENERGY.  PAIN IS GONE.  I SLEEP BETTER!  WELL IT'S ALL GOOD SO FAR.  I HOPE IT CONTINUES THE SAME. 
TAKE CARE

Well let me say, I had the endoscopy and did not go as well as I thought.  There was discomfort but once they gave me more medication it was done.  A week after that, I had my gallbladder ultrasound and the x-ray, as well as my labs.  All these things happened around the end of August and early September.  Then it came the waiting period because my surgeon was out of town and there was a delay in faxing the results from Brownsville to McAllen, whch is where I will have my surgery.  Today is September 22, and was told yesterday my surgery will be on October 2.  I have approximately 10 days to go.  I am very nervous but have had great advise from JackieBel, Ben G. and Judyanne;  Thanks for everything!!  I will try and post again or at least right before the surgery, to let you know how I feel.
