After 7 months of medical testing my surgery is finally tomorrow (May 4th, 2015).

I've yoyo dieted for many years. I think I've done everything there is out there from Vegan to Atkins. After an injury, last year, prevented me from exercising I decided to go to another seminar on bariatric surgery. I'd gone to one many years ago and thought I could handle things on my own. Losing 20lbs gaining 30 over and over again. Since I've been unsuccessful on my own, and now limited to swimming only, I decided to pursue surgery. I'm happy, excited and very ready to move forward.

I have my pre-op class Tuesday, final appt with surgeon Wednesday and then my paperwork will be submitted to Aetna for approval. I can't wait to be where you are at on this part of your journey! God bless and good luck!

Best wishes for a great surgical experience. I had an uneventful one but I am only 6 days out. No nausea or pain, so it can happen. I did have "sore" tummy upper left side, where they took the stomach out. Just listen to the doctors and nurses.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
