Surgery Date Set! Happy Thanksgiving for me with Dr. Alvarez!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited!! I just set my surgery date with Dr. Alvarez!! With months of research and reading forums I have made my choice and I am very happy with that decision. There will always be some hesitation I am sure, but I am looking forward to being on this forum with other people that are taking or have taken this road. I can't wait to talk to everyone and share experiences! :confused1:

Congratulations! Once you have the surgery and begin seeing and feeling the results for yourself, you'll forget that there was any hesitation to begin with. Today, for the first time in a month, I put on a pair of jeans and my boyrfiend told me I was swimming in them. Just hearing that made my day. Of course I couldn't change them so just feeling them baggy all day kept a smile on my face. Make sure to keep us all here posted on how your doing. Good luck on your journey!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      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!!
