I just had an initial visit with my surgeon last week. I need to have a sleep study and a psych evaluation and then I have to wait to see if I get approval from my insurance company. I should know in about 4-6 weeks if I'll be able to have the surgery. Wish me luck. :thumbup:

Hi Terri

Welcome to VST, good luck on your upcoming surgery. Are you having a band or are you a revision to a sleeve? Wish you all the luck in the world!

Great news, I was not sure if the bandmom meant you were getting the band, or if you had children in a band. I'm so happy to hear you are getting the sleeve, it is such a wonderful tool. I made the mistake of getting the band first, worst mistake of my life. I wish you good luck on your surgery and happy losing!!

Hey FabBy50. I didn't even think about that when I set up my account. :tongue_smilie:I've been so involved with my kids in marching band for the last 5 years and I've used the same user name for all my online accounts. I'm probably gonna confuse alot of people with that. Oh well. Sorry. :smile:

      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!!
