Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer. I came across this site through Google. I dont have my surgery date yet, but everything is moving so fast and Im starting to get nervous. I had my first bariatric appointment on Nov. 1st. Since then I have completed all of my referrals with the exception of 1 more Nutrition visit and the Endoscopy which is scheduled for Dec.27. I was told by my physician that this whole process would take 6months but on my last Bariatric visit I was told that I will get my surgery date on Jan. 3rd :-/ I wasnt nervous until she said it would probably be the end of Jan or early Feb!!! I was thinking March or April. Did things progress this quickly for anyone else? I dont know why Im so scared all of a sudden. :-(

Once the wheels are in motion, they can move very quickly and it can be exciting and intimidating all at the same time. Just think of it this way, the sooner it is the sooner you can be on your way to your new lifestyle!

      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!!
