I got my band off on Tuesday - WHOOP- and saw Dr. Nick today for follow-up. He had nothing but good news. The was NO erosion or scar tissue on my stomach from the band - WHOOP again! He had put a drain in as a precaution and took that out today, too. (THANK GOODNESS it was making me crazy.) Anyway - it all comes down to this - I'm getting sleeved December 22! What a great Christmas present and fantastic way to start the new year!:)

Guess what guys! I went to have my initial doctor visit, psych eval, and nutritionist visit today and because I'm self pay, I may have a surgery date of December 29th!!!!!! Dr. said he would do it for me if the clearances came through without a problem. . . he said because i'm self pay he could get me in earlier . . . so keep your fingers crossed for the 29th! I'm so happy!!!! Watch I'll get all freaky when December comes around!

Thank you ML. . . I agree! So I told hubbie not to get me anything expensive, just perfume or body wash or something because this would be my gift. . . of course he balked at that idea! :)

      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!!
