Ugh...everyone is getting their dates...I'm still waiting :( I called today and left a message for the nurse on getting a date. Hope I get a response soon! I"m tired of not knowing how to plan. My fam wants to take off some time around the surgery to help with our little guy.

Hang in there. For me it seems as if One minute I was feeling the same way that you feel and then in an instant I had a date and was on my liquid diet. April 10th is my date and I just found out. Now all the time I spent preparing seems like it was just yesterday when it all began.

Your probably right :) I'm dreading he liquid diet :/ But at least I'll only have those horrible hunger pains for 2 weeks. After that I'll get full much faster and won't be dealing with it. Can't wait...but also a little nervous! April 10 will be here very soon!!!!

My surgery is scheduled for 1:00 pm on April 1st. I am 5 days into the liver shrinking diet and well its not overly pleasant but it could be better as my surgeon allows some veggies and meat instead of all liquids. I would like a link to the FB page as well. My email address is barbara.pullos@sbcglobal.net Thanks

Even though my surgery is this coming Monday, I've been waiting on approval and I just got word from my coordinator.... APPROVED!!!! It finally feels real. I had been scared to get my hopes up because I've had such a hard time with insurance, and after countless hours of the phone, special requests from my PCP, changing hospitals and surgeon, all the fighting is over. Whew, it's really happening :D good luck to everyone and especially anyone struggling with insurance.

I had my pre-op with the doctor and at the hospital today. It was an insanely long day, but I was excited thru every minute of it! Several people asked me today if I was nervous...I'm too excited and have waited too long for this to be nervous. Maybe next Wed or Thurs I'll get nervous..we will see. ;) Just 1 more week to go! Scheduled for surgery at 11:00 am on April 4th!

      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!!
