I am new to this group and bariatric surgery..Trying to learn all I can (what to expect!) I am a 31BMI, not considered heavy enough for surgery but I have a pyloric stenosis that has to be dialated ever 3-4 weeks and surgery is my only cure. I had kidney cancer in 8/2012 and have been gaining ever since. I have always been a skinny gal but now I'm a 16sz and miserable due to my health and weight. My doctor us doing the RNY to fix both my blockages and help my health from progressing worse...I'm 48-live in Pensacola, FL..can't wait to meet everyone..thanks for accepting me into the groups!

      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!!
