Hello Michael so glad you are moving forward in your life and your health. Life sucks sometimes and unfortunately we (you and me) deal with loss and shame and grief in the same way. ROLLERCOASTER I was abused by every single guy I ever allowed near me except for my daddy, in one way or another sexually, mentally and my ex-husband physically too. I don't know why? Then ex abused kids mentally this also was so hard to deal with no matter how far I took them away he still found a way to hurt them and me until he drank himself to death last year which brought a whole other level of pain and sent me into a depression like never before for a year I ate and hid inside my house. 389 lbs at my most in August and surgeon said gotta lose 75 before he will touch me bmi is too high dangerous. Good news Michael I lost 17 so far amen. But at a cost other g on meds that make me feel sick all the time but I am gonna win this battle just like you are keep me posted and by the way I live near you other side bay area east near the delta

Thanks Becca for your kind words. I'm sorry for all the abuse you went thru. My husband? Was very very mentally abusive and both of us at times were physical. My son one of the twins has add HD and was very difficult at a young age ( don't get me wrong I love this son of mine with all my heart) His Dad did not handle his hyper activity very well... it was hard on the whole family,

I'm Michaela! I'm 23 (soon to be 24 on November 6th) and have a ridiculous obsession with make-up. I think the best days aren't so much about what you're doing, but who you're with. I work full time at CVS Corporate for the MinuteClinic credentialing department. I am a go-getter, hoping to get promoted again in the next year. I have a deep faith in God, and an uncontrollable love for life and people.

I also love to write, and documented my VSG journey thorough a blog that I kept secret up until recently. So now blogging is one of my favorite things to do :) I would love for you to join me on my adventure! www.journeyofonederland.com

Hello October sleevers. I'm scheduled for 10/30 and will begin my pre-op plan beginning tomorrow. I've been out crawling through the past posts and have traveled the journey via blog with several of you now post sleevers.

If I could only take one item with me to the hospital what would suggest. I'm traveling from Alaska with only a small bag so what I pack has to count.

Are there other 10/30 sleevers out there?

      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!

      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!!
