January 2012 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

I'm scheduled for Jan 25th at 3:30. I was hoping to get a morning surgery time so I wouldn't have time to worry. I'm also excited & a little scared.

January 27th with Dr. Almanza! I'm so excited! My birthday is the 25th, which was when I was originally going to have the surgery, but I wanted my husband to be able to come with me so I changed it to the 27th smile.png I'm so excited I can't sit still! n2dvn - maybe we'll pass in the halls - me on my way in, you on your way out! smile.png

- oh and kicking myself for not keeping up on that 4 years of Spanish in high school - at least half of what i can remember will be useful - I can order a beer and ask for the bathroom :P

I am Jan. 3 with Dr Ramos Kelly in TJ... even though the excitement of the holidays are here, I almost can't think of anything but my surgery.

I started my preop diet today and took all of my measurements.

UGHHH...I can't wait!!!

Anyone else headed to Mexico?

I haven't got my date yet, but all my paperwork was submitted for approval today. It's likely that I'll be part of your gang :)

Speaking of, we need a catchy gang name...

Like the july sleevers are the july firecrackers...

any ideas?

I'm "tentatively" scheduled for January 18th!!!! I just called my insurance and they said that the notes on the case stated "everything meets the criteria" so God willing they will be sending out my approval letter VERY soon!! PLEASE keep your fingers and toes crossed for me that everything goes by smoothly and QUICKLY!!

Received my pre-op paperwork in the mail today! I have to go over to the hospital for labs after my pre-op appointment on Jan 5. Beyond that, I may have only liquids for 24 hours before and cut off food and drink entirely at midnight the night before. I'm so excited! January 9, here I come!

I am scheduled for January 18th. I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 5th. I was supposed to get it done in December, but none of the dates would have worked. We are moving into a new house and with Christmas, I know the date is going to creep up on me! Can't wait!

Looks like it's either the 11th or 25th depends on the surgeon. I hope to find out very soon. As much as I really want it done now so the 11th would be faster, my dh is out of the country that day and with the kids and hospital being over an hour and a half away I guess I'm hoping for the 25th. I'm so ready to have this done, but realize it's for the rest of my life. Patience is something I need to work on.

      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!!
