Hi all,

I am new here. I just got my date for June 9th and I am wondering if anyone else is scheduled around the same time. If so and you would like a support buddy let me know.

This is my first post, but I have been reading all the wonderful information that you guys have made available. Very informative!!

Thanks.

Hi..thanks for the reply. Not nervous at all. I didn't have to go through counseling (self pay) so it has all been rather fast, which keeps me excited. Are you nervous? Where are you having your surgery?

My surgery will be in Albuquerque, NM.... I just found out yesterday that they were going to offer it here - I was going to fly to Ft. Worth,Texas.... That's when it hit me-yesterday that this whole thing is going to happen- thus I got a little scared - like what am I doing - but I hear a lot of people ask that question prior to surgery!!

Where is your surgery? How much time are you taking off?

Having my surgery in New Orleans. I am taking 7 days off work (I have a desk job).

Do you have a date yet? I think you will do fine; keep the possitive attitude. Look at it as a new beginning!

Where are you having your surgery? Of course you will be fine. You have to wake up so you can become skinny :)

Cool. I really don't know how to navigate this site too well. Is there a place that the June Jewels chat or post info?

I am only going to take 7 days off too- I hope it's enough - I sit bend stand and run back and forth from room to room at my job..... Honestly all I have this whole year is one week of vacation - and it's a new job so I don't want to call attention to myself by taking short term leave if absence - but.... I only have one stomach!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
