Hello everyone, I am new here and still pre-op.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I'm so happy to have found a sleeve forum.

I'm still pre-op, don't have a date yet but just found out my insurance approved the procedure.

So should be very soon.

I've been a nurse for 30 years in a busy hospital and unfortunately due to my crazy busy

career never took the time to take care of myself. :(

Now that I'm pretty much disabled I have no choice but to focus on getting my life back.

So I'm on this journey beginning with the sleeve.

Hopefully I can soon say good bye to the 10 plus meds I take daily.

I'm like a chemistry experiment. LOL.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to hanging out with you guys and gals and learning alot.

Thanks for having me. :)

Christine

Thanks. I'm psyched.

Nervous but psyched.

I have so much still to do but eager to get on the surgical schedule.

I think I have made a good choice of surgeon so at least I feel at ease with that.

Been trying the Protein drinks.

There are soooooo many to choose from its tough to decide.

Also trying to get used to herbal tea instead of my nightly glass of wine.

Oh how I will miss my wine. LOL

      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!!
