It's a slow process but don't give up and just remember you deserve the new healthier you.

I started my process in May and my insurance didn't require a 6 month diet. My process has moved right along. If the doctor insurance specialist hadn't took vacation I would already had surgery. I had appointment for tomorrow to set up surgery and guess what doctor has robotic training ( he teaches the class) so I am going new Wednesday. I am so tired and the limbo. If I knew I had 6 months fine I could deal with it. But the changing plans is a killer. Oh well it will happen in Gods timing.

I really feel that this is in Gods plans for me. He gave us our body as a temple and I have let him down and he is given me this tool to help me. So gotta keep faith.

Hello Bill, welcome to the forums. You have started well by joining here. There is so much information here from people who have gone through it but I would also suggest reading as many books, websites and literature as you can. I'm sure certain things will be different depending where you are reading but it will give you a basis of what to expect and how to prepare. I think preparation is so important to good recovery and starting with changing little things now will really impact when the time comes.

Best wishes and hope to see you around a lot!

Kate

      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!!
