5'2 scheduled for surgery on the 31 of October most recent weight. 202. Exited / nervous

I shall be thinking of you on the 31st. I can still remember how excited I was this time last year (I was lucky that I wasn't one bit nervous) and d'you know, the excitement is still there. I'm still on my journey as my goal weight is still 14lbs away. Every ounce that I lose still thrills me.

Good Luck for your surgery day and for the roller coaster of a wonderful ride that you are in for.

@@rmg19881015 by the way... I'm a wreck too. I'm so worried about blood clots, and the anesthesia. I bought the GasX strips, as I've heard the gas is the worst part after surgery. So... as I told my surgeon, "please, don't let me wake up La Morte...". LOL Another worry...acid reflux. I hope and pray that I don't get that. Good Luck to you. We'll both be wearing the same costume on the 31st...

I don't yet. I meet with one of the doctors Thursday for my physical and to decide what additional tests I may need and will go ahead and schedule my psych appointment and 1st nutriton appointment (I'm only required to do 3). I'm hoping for February or maybe March.

I'm 5'2. I had surgery on 8/18 and starting weight was 199. Now I'm 165. It's been no easy task. I work out everyday and still conscious of my food decisions. I love reading all your post. Keep up all the hard and good work everyone. Your worth it!

      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!!
