Ohhk so right after my post I visit my primary doctor and was excited to talk about my new journey! I was so disappointed he dismissed the idea told me he has no idea about anything on the surgery and we never talked about weight loss!! Plus he dismissed me for missing 3 appt now I gotta find a new primary and start over.

Have you looked into having the surgery in Mexico? It is actually priced in a way it can be affordable and they do great work and treat you like royalty. I'm scheduled for surgery in Tijuana on 1/31. My friend had her surgery there in May and did great.

I'm not sure where that program is. I'm going to Garcia. The total was 4700, I paid 500 deposit to set a date and will pay the balance when I arrive. That includes transportation and Hoyle stay as well. We only had to buy plane tickets to Sand Diego.

Awesome, I'm Charlotte NC as well. Who's your surgeon? I'll be sleeved on feb 6th with Dr. Villanueva at Mercy Hospital

My surgeon is Dr Kuwada. I will also be at Mercy. I've heard nothing but good things from people who have had their surgery there.

      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!!
