I'm having my surgery @ 6:30am tomorrow....



Recommended Posts

I'm very excited, a little worried, some depressed, much happy... I don't know. I've used food for comfort for so long and that's how I got here. I've used eating for all my emotions: happy, sad, whatever. My emotions were usually pizza flavored. Soon, I'll be hitting the gym for emotion control. I'm so looking forward to my new life. This is the tool I've waited for!

Congratulations! I was exactly where you are a week ago. The emotional roller coaster was up and down. Strangely, I was very calm the morning of surgery. I got up, took my shower, got dressed (quickly since no makeup, etc), and headed to the surgery center. It just felt right.

Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Sending you positive vibes for a speedy recovery and wonderful new life!

I love when you wrote about pizza-flavored emotions! I am in the same boat and am learning tools for dealing with stress and happiness too.

Good luck.

        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!!
