I had to sell my bike to help pay for my sleeve but my boyfriend has a bike so I still ride. I can't wait to get another bike, probably next summer because the one I want is way too expensive.

I almost cried when I sold mine but the surgery was worth it. I plan on getting a new Harley Street Glide next summer. We are going to Sturgis this year and I will just have to ride on the back of my boyfriends bike. It won't kill me, I just won't like it though.

WELL ME BEING A GUY, I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION OF RIDING ON BACK, SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY BABY. (LMBO) I DO PLAN ON GETTING ME ANOTHER CRUISER NEXT SUMMER, HOPEFULLY A YAMAHA BAGGER, AND MAKE IT TO STURGIS IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS.

Oh c'mon now Smitty - where's your sense of adventure? Of COURSE you can always ride bit** lol I would never dream of selling my bike, no way in hades. Took me 2 months to save for the surgery but as of last week I got it all paid for plus the airfare. June 27th I fly out of Sky Harbor and the 28th I have my surgery first one in the early AM (first one in before the day group even comes in from San Diego since I am going into Tijuana the nite of the 27th and then fly back to Sky Harbor on the 30th.

As far as the Yamaha goes - I LOVE mine - now that I have the surgery paid for I am going to start with the "bagger" accessories. Custom made tour pack (egg shaped not the huge thing) and then a Quadzilla fairing and of course VH pipes or Cobra. Since one of my clients (and good friends) is a bike repair shiop and he does custom builds I am going to leave it with him for a month to get it all ready for the riding season in the fall. Too hot here to ride now anyway other than in the evening, I am hoping I can tolerate the heat a little better once I lose the weight.

I read on a few other places that people rode within a few weeks - I won't but just cause it's hot and when I do I will wait for the stitches to come out anyway.

      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!!
