Signed up a couple of weeks ago and and just now found the introdution section. Better late than never i suppose. I went for my seminar on august 9, 2011. I had my first dr. appt on august 15, 2011. Started my pre-op diet on august 19, 2011. My surgery is set for this friday sept 2. I am very excited , but nervous at the same time. My starting weight was 244, i have lost 10 pounds so far on my pre-op diet, so now i am at 234. I am 38 yrs old. I have been married for 17 yrs, and have two beautiful daughters ages 12 and 10. I had a heart attack on february 13, 2008, and a triple heart by-pass on feb 21, 2008. I am so looking forward to getting my life back on track so i can be here for my babies and grandbabies one day. I am very happy to be a part of this website, it is very informative and has helped answer many of my questions so far.

      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!!
