My surgery is booked for April 29th. I couldn't be more stoked! I have been dreaming of this surgery for the last 18 months. I am traveling to Mexico for my sleeve and just booked my flights today. It is feeling more real and at the same time I can't believe it's finally happening.

I am scheduled for 4/5 and I am beyond excited. I started and then had to stop the process two years ago due to some other medical issues but was able to get back in the beginning of the year to get it all taken care of. My wife had the surgery in January this year and it has helped me prepare for the surgery mentally and physically. We live in Michigan, so we are excited to drop weight and do some camping this summer!

I just had my RNY yesterday 4/4/16, it is definitely understandable to be nervous! I have had an excellent recovery so far! Pain has not been too bad at all! I have to go for an upper GI X-ray today and as long as they do not see any leaks I can begin my stage 1 clear liquid diet.

For some reason, my surgeon doesn't want people up and walking until physical therapy comes to see them the next day, so that stinks because I really wanted to start walking yesterday. I have been falling asleep a lot just laying in bed, and the morphine probably doesn't help!

      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!!
