Hi,

I found out last week my surgery date is 2/12, I very nervous. My daughter just had LBS 12/10 so at least I have some up close experience, she's doing great! She started exercising and is trying to handle no restriction,but I'm still very anxious!!!! and concerned about the 2 week liquid diet my surgeon requires. We'll be great, Good Luck to all of us:thumbup:

Hey guys!!

My date is February 8! Nervous and excited. My preop diet starts next Monday - 3 weeks! - and I'm really dreading it but determined to follow it perfectly.

Janelle - I noticed you are having surgery in Cincinnati. Who's your doctor? I'm having surgery in Cinci with Dr. Curry.

I'm excited to make some new friends that will be going through this with me!

Hey Stacey! I'm Stacey too!

Hey Everyone!

I have scheduled my surgery for 2/5/10 in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. A few people (of the very few that I have told) are very happy and excited for me, others are not happy that I'm going to Mexico and think that I'm putting my health in jeopardy. I want to tell them to bug-off but that wouldn't be very nice. Any advise for me on how to handle this?

Hey, I am getting my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz as well. My mom just had hers done a few days ago and she LOVED it down there. They are super gfreat, very professional, no issues whatsoever! I don't think that just because it is in Mexico, people should assume there is something wrong with it! It is a really great facility and everything will be great! I am going on February 22, so you are a bit ahead of me!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
