Tomorrow's The Big Day.



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the final phase to the beginning of my new life. I feel ready. I'm not really nervous. I feel super prepared having read so much on here. I made it through the 14 days of liquid without cheating and I think that will be the hardest part. I want to thank you all for your support and for sharing your experiences.

Congrats on all the above ! I start my liquid diet in a couple of weeks....starting to worry if will go nuts without solid food.....I just plan on drinking Water in-between to keep the hunger pains at bay. What kind of pre op tests did you have? I was signed up for the band and after reading here,decided to go for the sleeve. My Dr. appt is not until the 17th and so I have yet to speak to my doctor about the change. i did get my insurance going on the new surgery though...hope to get my letter soon. I wish you well and have prayed for you already : )

Keep me updated ! I will be waiting to hear from you !!!! You will do well....

Hi. I had a boat load of blood tests, an upper GI, chest xray, stress test, EKG, ultrasound on my legs, and the psych Eval. I had a 6 month weight loss requirement. Admittedly, I didn't take that too seriously and ended up getting approved for surgery but then the surgeon wouldn't do it because my Diabetes was way out of control. I took 2 months and worked hard and realized how important each phase of this journey is. I got my numbers down and now I am ready to go. I made a lot of the changes we will be required post op already. I also saw a therapist for 2 months to really work on understanding my relationship with food.< /p>

      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!!
