I am scheduled for mom sept 17 with dr. Barker in Dallas! I start the pre op diet on sept. 10th. I am so ready! I live about 300 miles from Dallas and think we will drive instead of fly so we can stop, take our time and I can walk? Any thoughts about that? Do you think I will hurt too bad to be in the car? Thanks!

I am scheduled for September 13.

I was originally scheduled for August 30, but the Psych wanted me to do a run of ADD medication because he thought I had ADD and that's why I was having a problem taking my meds...well, I just don't think about taking my meds usually...but I'm doing great now. The ADD medicine I took made me very angry so I only took it for 3 days. So, $133.00 later (meds and 2 dr co-pays to get meds and then follow-up), my date got pushed back 2 weeks - which is better than the 2 months the psych originally requested.

I'm Sept. 13th. as well.

      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!!
