Today is the day for me!!!!!!

I have to be at the hospital by 9:30. I was still in shock when I called them yesterday to get my surgery time I thought they would say - you are not on our list for surgery....but they didn't :)

so excited & a little nervous but mostly about the IV! How silly is that? It usually takes 3-4 times for anyone to stick me before they finally get it in. I have bad veins....

anyway - I will keep you all posted!! YEAH!

I will be in Stratford, NJ with Dr. Balsama!

Dawn

Hopefully I will do my ticker soon...

Dawn!

YAY!!! You are on your way hun!! Don't stress the IV. Hopefully you will get a great nurse that will get it with the first prick. Big hugs!!

June 22, Kaiser South San Francisco, CA.

I can't believe I've got 19 days left! I even got a countdown app on my phone and I look at it every day and get excited.

I'm starting to get really nervous now, the clock is ticking.

Hi my fellow Jewels!

My surgery was changed from June13 to June 20th... I was a little disappointed, but got over it really quick! :D This gives me an extra week to get my mind right and now I can have BBQ with my family for Memorial day instead of starting my preop diet! I am just so glad I am still a Jewel!

One week from tomorrow. /bites nails June 16th. Anyone else on that day?

I had my postop/preop visit today - I had the band out a week ago yesterday, getting sleeved a week from tomorrow. Good news is that they took me off the liquid preop diet and told me to just eat 1200 calories per day or less of whole foods (no processed, no fast food etc). I guess my liver look pretty good in person and so I don't need to shrink it. Whew. I was really struggling with the liquid diet. Which kind of worries me for after surgery.

I am getting both excited and nervous.

      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!!
