2 DAYS!!! Ahhhhhh!

Tomorrow at 3:30 I find out what time my surgery is Friday morning. I'm going to pick up some stuff tonight I want for the hospital and hopefully pack too. How is everyone else getting ready?

I know. Is this really happening for us? Seems like a dream! I leave tomorrow morning for Vegas and meet with the surgeon. Then it's last meal time. According to the nutritionist your liver doesn't have time to expand so quickly, so I get a last meal. Looking forward to that just as much as the surgery!

It has seems like a dream up until today. I'm really feeling the pressure today. But I am excited too. Mostly nervous about the healing process. Afraid of strictures or leak. Ive lost 10 lbs in the last 10 days. That keeps me going. :)

So I have arrived at hotel. We are going to go shopping and try to relax a little ( if I can) I was pretty emotional this morning saying good bye to my kids. Basically up and down feeling good, scary, excited, I know my surgery is first thing in the morning. I cannot wait to just be in recovery and know I am ok, sleeved and using the tool to change my life.

      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!!
