I have mine scheduled for 9/24 - a long time coming, but I am so anxious! I hope I'm not putting all my health eggs into one basket, but I'm trusting this new lifestyle will get me healthy with a few more years to enjoy life!

no reason to be scared bella lynn

this is your chance to make yourself well and healthy.

this is a wonderful day and a wondeful thing.

focus on the positive (i know the pre ops are hard but they are there for a reason).

i am so happy for you :)

I understand the butterflies. If you are comfortable with your doctor and he has a good reputation, you should be fine. I hope it all goes well. I'll be thinking of you.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! this will be the beginning of a whole new life for you. it's a lot of work but, well worth it. I am close to your age and it has changed everything for me. I haven't been this active for so many years, I cannot even remember!

keep us informed on your progress and be patient with yourself. do not compare your weight loss with others, we all lose differently.

Started pre op diet today. It is going to be hard to stick to this for 2 weeks! I am not really craving food though. I just cant stomach the smell of the shakes.

I put some peppermint extract in my last shake today (chocolate flavored) and it seemed to help a bit. Tasted ok, just had to hold my breath to drink...lol

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
