I live in Houston, Tx. I am from Corpus Christi, Texas, but I have been in Houston for 16 years.

My surgery is July 19. TWENTY TWO DAYS AWAY!!!

What excites me most? Um...being thinner (err...healthier), being able to have relations with the lights on (maybe), breaking up with Lane Bryant, not hearing that damned but you have such a pretty face bs anymore.

What scares me the most? Other than that I will die during surgery, um, I am pretty scared of not being able to eat tortillas again. I live in Texas for crying out loud - they are a staple.

Where are you from? Rockford, Il

When is your surgery? July 3rd...2 days away!!!!!!

What excites you most about the surgery? Being able to buy clothes in the regular size department. When I was a kid I actually bought clothes in the " chubby" department.... Yes that is what it was called.

What scares you the most? Nothing.... I am so excited. When I first started the process I would come one from work sick to my stomach from stressing out about this. I finally decided if I am going to do this then let's do it. I am no longer scared.

      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!!
