I'm getting the camra through my gastric track (I think that's what it's called) this Thursday to make sure I'm good to go.

I'm nervous somwthing will be wrong and I cant get sleeved. I expressed to a friend about my fear and she said maybe it'll be a sign to loose weight differently. I'm pissed about it but mainly lost as to what if I can't sleeve. What will I do then. Help!

You are putting the cart before the horse. It is not time to worry yet. The odds are on your side. I am sure everything will be fine. Try to concentrate on other things for now. Good luck!

I had an amazingly great experience in Mexico. Great surgeon, great medical staff...cannot say enough good things about it. Met many who would say the same thing. $4500 for the entire experience, minus cost of airfare. All included: hotel stay, hospital stay, surgery, meds, transportation.

It's been two weeks since surgery and I'm feeling great. Going to my doctor tomorrow to get a referral to a dietician to help ensure my success.

I had the same thing prior to surgery ( sleeved 8/20/14). It is to make sure you don't have obstructions or ulcers or hernias that would complicate your surgery. I ended up having a hernia. They still operated on me fixing the hernia at the same time. Be comfortable that your doctor is taking the extra steps to keep you healthy. Good luck!!!

      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!!
