Oh wow so they are admitting you the day before interesting maybe I'll ask my doc about that :)

I think you are talking to me. I think it was because they have to do a antibody test the day before. Normally you can come on the day of, at 0630.

Mine is March 20th. At first it was April 18th, but then someone canceled and I was able to get their date. They called me on Tuesday, right after I had left the hospital after my last pre-op appointment. I went straight to the insurance company, and they approved me there and then. So excited. I'm getting admitted on the 19th.

March 20th for me tooooo!!!

I gained some after my initial appointment (I have extremely bad sciatica pain, so no movement and feeling sorry for myself is not a good combination) , so I'm already trying to get down as much as possible. We don't get a specific diet, just to cut back on fat, and make sure we have 12 hours between last and first meal, it gives the liver a better chance of getting smaller. They want us to try and loose 3-5kg. (about 6-10 lbs) I'm down just over 8 lbs since Monday, I need another 7 to get down to initial weight. More than that will be awesome, but not really realistic.

They told me just to maintain my weight and only do the liquid diet the day prior to surgery and for two weeks after.

      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!!
