Hey there! I am also a patient of Dr. Nick. My surgery is scheduled for June! I am actually a revision patient as I had a band that slipped and had to be removed, now I'm going to be a sleeved!! I am a ball of emotions! Dreading the pre and post op diets but it's all so worth it!! Congrats on your surgery date!

You too! I'm just ready to get through these tough parts and enjoy my life at a higher level! I am anxious about the diets but have to start on the 25th. Don't want to get into surgery and have them back out because my liver is too big. Are you going to go to the support group meetings he offer some?

Yes the pre op diet is very important... But we can do it! I went in March and April but won't be able to go this month. Have you been? They are great and you learn a lot!

Yes, we can all do this. Haven't been to support group yet planning on attending them. I belonged to one after having cancer and it was a lifesaver in getting through that. Is one better than the other? Dr. Nick gave me 2 options.

      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!

        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!!
