It's really happening! Surgery date sep 10



Recommended Posts

After months of research and doubts I finally got a date: SEP 10 with Dr. Cure in Barranquilla (Colombia). I am going alone since hubby has to stay with the kids. I fly back 4th day post-op so that is a little scary. Leaving my two babies behind for a whole 5 days is even scarier (silly me).

Now....................try explaining your 130lb boss that you need a week off for WLS :thumbup1:.

I have lost 7 lbs in the last two weeks which has been hard..............I've been hungry most of the time but at least my body will be better prepared for surgery. I still plan on having a BIG piece of cake at some point before surgery.

Overall I'm exited. I will probally miss eating large servings of the foods i like but once the smaller cloths in my closet (that i havent worn in years) start to fit nicely I will forget all about that stinking food.

Well, that's all for know. Thank you all for being part of this amazing sleeve family.

LOVE

Yay - You have A date. I also went alone. I didn't want to feel like I had to keep my husband company while I wasn't feeling well. The flight was ok, a bit cramped. I returned on the 4th day post op. Best wishes on the pre-op diet. It sound like you are already doing good.

      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!

        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!!
