I'm getting my date tomorrow or Tuesday. It will be in the next two weeks. It's crazy because my birthday is the 27th. This is like the best birthday present ever. I'm super nervous, but can't wait for it to happen!

I'm waiting for doctors office to call me and schedule my appointment to see Dr. Anderson and schedule my surgery. My wife had it done last mont and has already lost 40 lbs. and I'm looking forward to similar results.

Any suggestions on the pre-op diet? I start mine tomorrow and my surgery is the 18th. I'm more worried about that than the surgery. I still have to cook for my family and I don't want to be tempted to eat.

I'm right there with you. Starting my pre- op diet tomorrow and surgery on the 18th also. Cooking for my family will definitely be a challenge. We can do this, though. Will just have to keep remembering why we are doing this. It will definitely be worth it all! Wishing us both lots of luck!

Ok...so here I sit at the airport waiting to board my flight to Las Vegas. Pre-op tomorrow surgery Tuesday. I am experiencing some anxiety but I have it under control. I am on day 12 of my pre-op diet and have lost 13 pounds. Interesting those all came off in the first 7days and nothing for the last 5.

Good luck! I am here in Las Vegas, too. I am scheduled Friday.

      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!!
