I changed my appt to 1/16/13 with Dr Ariel Ortiz. (Obesity Control Center) in TJ. I decided on the sleeve instead of plication. I am over my need to have a food funeral and am on my pre op diet. I could not believe how obsessively I was eating.

I am looking forward to the new year and finally taking care of myself and getting healthy!

I totally get the obsessive eating! It was unpleasant but i was doing it anyway... I started my preop today even tho my surgery is in March. I'm trying to lose 50-60 lbs (safe and healthy) and get my BMI under 50.

I can't believe I'm having surgery next month. I'm still nervous about traveling alone and know that I will miss my husband so much. I wish he could go with me. It seems that everyone who has a surgery date near mine (2/22...arriving 2/21) will be leaving when I get there or just coming in as I'm heading out. I hope to find a buddy soon.

I've been out of control eating during the holidays. Glad they're over! Now I just need to focus and get healthy. The big 4-0 is right around the corner and I have a slam'n dress I bought that I want to fit into and look smok'n in.

I just purchased a new carry-on and tote bag for my trip to MX. I can't wait to start packing it! I guess it's the little things in life, huh?

I know how you feel. It doesn't seem like anybody will be in TJ the same day I am getting surgery. Plus, I will miss my husband so so much. We never go anywhere without each other. Just to work :-(

Thank you for your kind words of support. Today is the big day. We head to the hospital in 3.5 hours.

I rode in from the airport with two gals - one had lost 200 pounds in less than a year with VSG and was here to help her friend. Helps me to keep an eye on the prize.

        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!!
