Recommended Posts

That sounds close to me. We should meet up on the gulf coast, love it there. I am from south fla and have lived in northern ala for 7 years but still miss the Water, tropical weather. Oh, how was Thanksgiving at your relatives? Glad you are back and chatting again.

It was okay, and super happy to be home.

We'll definitely have to get together sometime. We love it here, and it would be fun to meet another sleevester.

My surgery is scheduled for Wed 3/3. I'm a mixture of scared and excited. Saw you had surgery in Dec, how are you doing? Any regrets?

Kabranda,

I remember being scared the closer it got to S date and had to just hope all went well and have confidence in my doctor. I had my husband with me and thank goodness, he remembered what actually happened! I have NO regrets whatsoever, even with the first few days being rough with nausea, all forgotten. I am losing weight steadily, some weeks nothing and then on down 2-3 lbs. I have so much energy and work out easily. Go to the pool and lift weights no prob. Did you go to a local doctor? I wish you well and let me know if you have any questions.

Dr. Facundus @ Alabama Surgical Assoc in HSV is doing my surgery - it is a Center of Excellence. I'm glad to be getting it done locally.

Tiffy,

That sounds great! Do you live near Eglin AFB? Isn't that near Pensacola? I went to school in Pensacola and loved that city. Anyway road trip coming up for sure!

Yeppers, we are smack dab in the middle between Pensacola and Destin.

I had my revision at Eglin. The husband is stationed out of Hurlburt Field, and we live off-base in Navarre. It's about a 40 minute drive to downtown Pensacola from our house.

My surgery is 3/3 and I'm taking a couple of weeks off work so April might be a little tight for me but I'll be in Gulf Shores, AL (6/11-6/18 I think) and Destin the last week of August.

I love that area and would love to meet up with you both if we can pull it off. Does anybody's significant/ DH play golf? The guys would have something to do while we gab or any suggestions?

We can shoot for May just whatever works out for all of us.

John doesn't golf, but he loves to fish. He's a country boy at heart. If I end up coming to y'all, it'll be a weekend away for me. I have to get away a couple times a year.

      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!!
