My surgery is Jan 16, I just got all the dates for my cardiologist, pulmonologist, type and cross and anesthesiology and of course the appt with the hospital for the up front copay! I feel a little surreal, I've been waiting so long and now it feels like it will be time and I won't be ready. Just decided to start ahead on the pre op diet so I have a little room to get used to it before it is critical, no enlarged liver for me to have them back out at the last minute, right? I'm down 9 lbs in just a week so I'm psyched. Yea, for us jan sleavers, Happy new year to all and to our new lives!

what a great birthday gift you will have! you will be able to do it--good luck, we all have such exciting times ahead of us--change can make us freak a little but its gonna be the best thing we have ever done for ourselves, for once in my life I am putting my needs first, and I don't mean to sound selfish, but I think we all deserve it and I know my family deserves a more participatory wife and mom. Can ya tell I'm ramping up for this?? Can't wait....

      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!!
