Oh, they wont know you've done badly. I was asked my weight by the anaesthetist but not weighed. My surgeon said dont bother about the Optifast, you dont need to really shrink your liver, but everyone else mentioned it to me, so I rang his office, there was nothing on my file, his secretary told me to start and she would check with him, he said no, dont bother but I kind of half did it anyway and then after the surgery he asked me if I lose much weight on the Optifast! He had no clue! They cant tell by looking at your insides what you've been eating.

Oh Suki, I am so glad I saw your post. I have been trying to remember who it was that asked me for my doctors information and when I saw your post, I realized it was you and that I never sent it to you. I apologize, here's the information you asked for:

Dr. Eddie Gomez

305-285-5090

3661 South Miami Avenue

Suite 301

Miami, FL 33133

You and your Mom are both in my prayers that all goes well for both of you. I wish you two a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Cindy

      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!!
