Hi Jody, I am a March 7th sleever too and I can so relate to your post. I love to run as well. I started learning to run about two years ago, but of course the weight has kept me from it so I walk a lot of 5k's. My goal is to not be dead last as I have been due to my weight problems.

Good luck to both of us as we move on. Bring on the liquid diet in two days. Whoo Whoo

Hey y'all im new to this site, but im sp glad I found it. My very first visit will be on march 16th to do my info session and speak with the dr. One of the great things is that my insurance makes me have a 6 month supervised diet and nutrition appointments but I already have mine done so im looking to have my surgery in april

I just got a date of 3/11/13. That is coming up quick! My paperwork is currently under review by Anthem. I didn't have a surgery date, so I called and ask when my patient coordinator thought it would be and she went ahead and scheduled me right away. I will be taking FMLA paid and need to get my paperwork done ASAP. I am kinda glad its so quick because I don't have time to worry.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
