Alexis - must be a popular birthday - it is my 20 year olds, my mothers and my youngest neice (all 3 very similar personalities) - over the years I have met about 6 others with that date. Happy Birthday for then!

MIchelle,

Yes my doctor put his patients on liquids 7 days before surgery. I'm hoping it's not too rough although I'm hearing it is. Are you nervous with only 4 days left? I'm afraid when it gets down to the wire I will be a wreck.

you know i am really not that nervous, but i am much more emotional. i have had to watch i think i have been irritable lately. and that isnt very fun. for anyone.

i am just really exited and grateful that there is such a tool out there and I actually am going to be able to use it!

if you get nervous this is the place to be!

now if i were having the bypass i would have to be on some major sedatives because it is SO MUCH more everything...

drastic, dangerous, permanent, etc

good luck!

My banding is one week from today!! I'd be a basket case if I weren't totally preoccupied with a weekend trip to Cape Cod. Right now we're supposed to be packing the car and getting all set for a 4:00 a.m. departure. :)

We're getting back on Sunday and I know that Monday I will be scared, excited and everything else. I'll be here for sure!!!

      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!

        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!!
