Surgery can make you very anxious. Having just gone through this on the 7th I can tell you from my expeirence it went great. I too was very nervous. As long as you stick to your doctors pre-op orders you will be fine.

Banded 8/7.

I wasn't expecting to skip out of the surgery center, but I wasn't expecting it to be so difficult either. The first few days were really tough recovering from the surgery. The gas pressure was intense. Today I feeling much, much better. Still tired & a bit gassy, but more like myself.

I haven't had any hunger pains at all. I have to force myself to get in the Protein that is required. I'm looking forward to my new life.

My paperwork for FMLA is all finalized thank god. Since Surgery is Monday. Nervous, excited, scared, hoping my 3 week pre-op diet did the trick and my liver is small when I try to feel just under my ribs I feel a solid object but I don't know if its my liver. I admitted I cheated once, it has me scared, I don't think it was enough to delay my surgery. I'm not trying to justify it I shouldn't have it was a bean/cheese burrito and a chicken taco. I've been better following the diet since and cutting my calories, my fingers are crossed I'm ok.

      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!!
