Surgery went well. Dr. Alvarez and his staff have been delightful and recovery has gone very well so far, almost too Good to be true. I'll spend tomorrow here in Mexico again then go home Thursday. I'm so ready to be able to drink something though. I've never wanted some Water so bad in my life!

Pain for me was very minimal, it was more discomfort which is from the gas. I found that walking and doing deep breathing throughout the day especially in the morning helps move the gas around and eventually out, but it is uncomfortable.

      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!!
