Ugh! I'M getting so nervous reading all of your posts!! I HONESTLY am more nervous for this surgery than I ever was for my lumpectomy!! I guess I should start to clean out my drawers and my closet too! I still need to by liq tylenol, and a few other things.

Yep, May 17 for me with Dr Garcia. Had a eroded lapband out on 24th January here in Alberta, but just couldn't wait for all the hoops to get the surgery here!!

Getting the lapband out was harder than I thought, so the sleeve will be a walk in the park compared to that!

I cannot wait to meet Dr. Garcia in person and start this whole thing. I have heard wonderful things about him from so many people. Congrats.

I just did my pre admission testing. EKG blood work chest X-ray. All good!! I am really getting nervous. Not of the surgery more of the fact that my god they are removing part of my stomach. For good!! I look at skinny people and hate them. Why can't I do it without this. But I can't.

I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet and feeling tired today. But I know it is all worth it, I to wish I could do this without the surgery I can for a while then it comes back. So this is a must for me to become healthy for myself.

Just had my consultation today & set my date for May 14th or 15th (they have to verify with the hospital to know which day for sure). I'm at peace about the surgery, but nervous about getting all the preop tests & such done in the next few weeks since I'm in college & have finals now too, but I really don't want to wait on the surgery, so I'll make it work somehow!!

      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!!
