Hard to believe that in 48 hours I'll be in Mexico just a few hours away from my surgery. I'm still not scared or nervous, but I just feel somehow underprepared or something. I can't wait for this, I know it's the right thing for me to do, I just wish it were over and I was back home with my babies. Hm...kinda melancholy at the moment...

I'll be thinking of you...best wishes! My surgery is a couple of weeks away and even that seems so close, so I can only imagine what you're feeling. Hoping you have a safe and uneventful surgery and quick recovery.

Ally - I will be there with you girl. I have 3 daughters and I keep thinking that I hope I am making the right decision for them. I will be there on Thursday, I don't know if I will see you that day as you will be recovering from surgery, but I will ask about you and see if maybe I can pop in. I am sure we will both need each other! Im so excited for you and me!!!!

I had my surgery with Dr. Aceves three weeks ago and it was great. No pain at all, great hospital experience. And I'm down 18 pounds already. I was a little nervous the night before but the sedative helped and I was still confident I was doing the right thing too. You'll do great.

      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!!
