At The Airport Now....



Recommended Posts

Here I am at the airport now, this is really going to happen. Today will be a busy day, hopefully - makes the time go faster! I am looking around at all the extra baggage people carry and I wounder if that plays a toll on them like my "extra baggage". I feel so fortunate that I have a plan to better my life and I can't wait to tackle this head on.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts. I am here in Juarez Mexico. The trip from the airport to the hospital went great- no issues. The hospital is clean and the room is like a suite, really. I have a separate sitting area, the bathroom is huge and the closet space is good. I had blood work, EKG, and Psych review done - all good. My surgery will be Monday morning, so all I have to do is hang out tonight. I went by myself and I am glad I have my iPad. I only speak English so TV is lost on me!

      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!!
