I started this Journey August 20 2011. I never thought I would get to this date. October 24th will be the first day of my new life, and Im so excited. After the 6 month wait, after the insurance denials, and appeal, and even after the outstanding copay (2k), I am getting this done!! Whooooo Im so excited. No fear or anxiety. Im just ready. I dont think anyone in my family can understand what Im feeling, So this is why Im sharing it with you guys that are reading tonight.

Im realistic... I know there will be pain, gas, nausea... and Im ready for that too, because once that has passed, I can really enjoy healthy eating practices that will turn into weight loss, and overall health for me. I can run around with my 4 year old without getting winded, I can enjoy looking and feeling sexy for me (and my husband). Im Ready!! All faith- No fear :)

WOOO!!! congrats! dosent it feel like such a huge weight being lifted off you shoulders when you get that date to schedule (no pun intended).

do you find your lack of fear/anxiety weird? My family was so freaked out at how calm I was while i was explaining/filling out my advanced directives.

you seem very prepared, congrats on that, and on everything you've accomplished thus far, and everything you will accomplish. Please keep us in the loop on how it goes

        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!!
