Hi All, The closer surgery gets the more nervous I get the crazier my thoughts become. One of my cats got sick and is in the hospital something with his GI track. Now that has me upset enough as is but then I start to wonder if this is some cosmic message to me. Fortunately I had a bit of a wake up because my pre op ekg was borderline showing the beginnings of problems that are probably obesity related but I have no idea how I am going to keep my sanity between now and Tuesday.

I think the majority of us were super happy one minute and crying the next ... for the entire last week before surgery! : )

Normal stuff. I was so mad at myself when I was at the clinic and prepped for surgery, that I was crying and getting all worked up. Fortunately, a gal I met at the clinic, also having surgery, talked me down and the dr gave me a dose of happy juice in my iv. Definitely something to ask for!

I have zero regrets now! The sleeve is an amazing tool : )

You will make it! Hang in there!

That is so funny! I'm up, can't sleep because I'm over thinking right now about my surgery on Friday...it's kinda freaking me out, but when I got up and felt the pain in my knees I know I'm doing the right thing.

Sleeve for me, I would love to have some of that happy juice about now(G). I have always been a bit of a nervous Nell but menopause has really ramped it up and when I get stressed my stomach gets bad nausea +++++ so good times are had by all here(G)

      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!!
