I'm just beginning the journey! Waiting for insurance clearence and then my 1st appointment. Most of my family is understanding but I have a few hold outs. And then there's always that friend that wants to know how much I need to lose or someone who tells me it's to drastic!

Good luck! March 9th will be here before you know it!

My surgery is also March 9th in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. My husband and I were hoping to have a relaxing little vaca and have my surgery at the same time. I have been reading posts on complications and it is making me a bit nervous. I have a very supportive husband but am keeping my surgery a secret from other family, friends and co-workers. I am a labor nurse and have taken two weeks off of work, hoping that will be enough time to recover.

We are but I am old enough to be your mother!! I live in a suburb of Houston and work in the Medical Center. I am ready to do this. I was ready last summer and fall but became very Iron deficient and the surgeon said I had to correct that first. Anyway, I have several co-morbidities, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, NASH with esophageal varicies, RA and obstructive sleep apnea. I am praying that some of these will be resolved with this procedure.

      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!!
