Hi Everyone,

I just found out I am approved for surgery, and have a surgery date!! I am traveling to a center of excellence in Mexico for my surgery. I am full of so many different emotions, but the biggest one is excitement!

My surgery is scheduled for August 29th. I am really excited/nervous...and a whole mess of other emotions. It's FINALLY all coming together. I'm done caring about what other people think of my decision. This was not an easy decision, or me taking the "Easy Way" out. Thanks for the congrats :) The well wishes mean a lot. You are doing really well since your gastric sleeve. If you could tell your preop self one or two things you wish you knew before surgery what would it be?

I've been struggling with my weight since the 3rd grade. Always up and down, I'm ready to be consistently down and normal. August will be my time...

      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!!
