Hi everyone....first time posting. So glad to have found this site....you are all a wealth of information! I admit I'm addicted to reading all of your posts.

I'm 48 and need to lose about 100 lbs. My spouse just went through her surgery April 4th, so I kind of have an idea about what's in store for me.

I've been approved for surgery on July 11th. I'm very excited to start moving towards a healthy weight.

I know me too, I kinda want to have a last hooraaa, but I had to lose 10% of my body weight to be approved by insurance for my surgery. I did it, It was HARD....and I worked so hard to get it off I don't want to gain it all back. But at the same time I am wondering if I have to keep it off till surgery???? I would be soooo mad if I gained some back and it kept me from having my surgery!!!!! So when is your surgery date? I love the Fellow Virgo Sleever :) Happy early Birthday to you too!

Long story but my surgery was changed to the 24th instead of the 23rd. I'm fine with that. I'll be in the hospital from Tuesday to Friday. We are another day closer to July!!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
