I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now Kathy. I don't have surgery there for 3 weeks and I'm scared! I have heard there is no power in Mexicali still this morning. And they have to sterilize basically the whole hospital. I hope the people there for surgery are okay. I would be scared spitless! I hope things go okay for you and I selfishly hope things will be okay in 3 weeks. :)

I've been confined at the courthouse all day on jury duty. I hadn't heard that there was an earthquake. If someone's lurking who knows about it, I'd sure like to know where it was. Mexico? Arizona?

I have a son in LA and I tried to call hiim tonight and couldn't reach hiim. That's why I'm concerned.

The big quake was a little south of Mexicali, MX. LA only felt it a little. Not a big deal there at all.

Thanks you all! I am sorry that it's interfering with your surgery. And I sure hope no one was hurt! I'm shocked that Yuma realized a 6.9 from the quake. That would be a really big deal in L.A. They're so tightly packed - like sardines.

I'm in Texas and quakes are virtually unheard of here. I can't even imagine what it is like to experience one. Hope you don't have any aftershocks! And best of luck to you with your surgery.

It looks like I will be pushed back to next week!:sad0: That is if I keep my fingers crossed. For everyone else flying down there this week I hope you have a safe trip and I will be thinking about you all.

I'm so sorry Kathy! We should have just snuck you into the OR with me and got this done! Oh well, your sleeve story will surely be unique. Good luck lady!

Dude, I should of thought of that I had not ate anything that day and they were already poking and prodding in that area. I should have just told them to knock my ASS out.:sad0: Oh well! They probably could have not handled us both at the same time. HAHAHAH

Thanks for the pick me up:thumbup:

All right how many of you get to say this twice......Heading to Mexicali tomorrow.....yeah!!! Everything is going great and back on track so they can do my surgery on Thursday!

I did talk to 2 people down there when it all happened they had theirs done today. They are all fine...scared....but fine. Part of the hotel was damaged but being fixed as we speak. Not much damage done to hospital...few damaged air conditioning ducts..things knocked over and ceiling tiles fell. But nothing major.

Ann Marie and David hope you had an uneventful day and you are doing well tonight.

      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!

      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!!
