This was my experience , got to the clinic and they brought me to the pre op room had me change to a gown and sit in a chair with a warm blanket , the doctors came in and introduced themselves then the nurse brought me to the OR I got on the table they numbed my hand put in the IV which I did not feel next thing I knew I was in recovery

For me, they took me into pre-op had me change into lovely hospital attire, and scrub my tummy with some wipes. They than hooked up a warming blanket and started and IV. Than a more papers to sign and the anesthesiologist came to visit, he even told me a couple jokes! Finely my surgeon came in along with her assistant and before you knew it off to the OR. I was in pre op about 2 & 1/2 hours before surgery. But it all went rather quickly. Once in the OR they put a mask over my face and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. Hope that puts you at ease. It all went smooth as can be. Only found out in pre op that my insurance required I spend he night. All was smooth and easy on my end. So glad I did this! Blessings to you for a perfect outcome!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
