Well, I must admit to getting a little nervous. Tomorrow, 3/21 is the day. I will have a band to sleeve revison and my gall bladder taken out. I pray I will have as good of an experience as most everyone else on the board has had. I can't wait until I am losing. Today I am on liquids. My last big meal was at Waffle House with my granddaughters. I wish it could have been better but I love their BLT sandwiches. I need to go to Walmart later today and get some gasx. Is there anything else I need to take? Prayers and support requested. Thanks to all up to now.

I am saying a prayer for you Cathy. I will pray for you tomorrow too. I would take chap stick and slippers with you. Your lips get SO dry. When you are up walking around (do that as soon as possible) you dont want to walk the halls of the hospital barefoot and I found the socks they gave me a little slippery. Ear phones and some music was helpful at night when I was trying to sleep and my roommate was watching tv. You know I tried to have a last meal...Outback and I couldnt eat much so it was kind of a waste of money. I think last meals are over rated. Remember to walk walk walk and sip sip sip.

See you on the losers bench before you know it!

Blessings,

Hey Cathy!!! Big hugs for your surgery tomorrow. Everything will turn out excellent and you absolutely *will* have as good an experience as others (such as me) who have had the revision.

Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it. :)

      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!!
