Hi guys,

I just paid my deposit!

I'm the 1st surgery of the day on June 7th, bright & early.......I have the shakes & I'm sweating and I don't know if I'm going to laugh or cry!? I start my pre op diet on the 23rd....

Any advice for the next 17 days is greatly appreciated........SMH, I can't believe I'm actually doing this!

(((Laura)))- Thank you & I will!

Hey, I see you are online. Remember to relax and breathe. Tell Dr Umbach a fellow he did two years ago is doing fantastic and, "Thanks!"

See you on the other side.

I just realized today is your day....hope all went well!

Hope you are feeling as good as you can today. Keep us updated on your progress over the next few days.. get rest and think about how awesome you are going to feel in a week!!

Hi guys,

The surgery went better than expected. However, today is another story....I'm really weak & have had a low grade fever for the last 2 days. Dr. said it was normal.

I know you met with Dr Umbach awhile ago ... I would be surprised to hear that he suggested that if there wasn't a good reason Sorry, you couldn't get me to re-arrange my intestines for anything.

Umbach repaired my hiatal hernia and I haven't had reflux issues since, but we are all different.

Good luck tomorrow.

Hi PdxMan,

Dr.Umbach fixed a hiatal hernia for me as well & I haven't had any heartburn issue! You were so right about Dr.Umbach.....He's amazing!

Go easy Molly... Remember your body just went through a major ordeal. It will take a while to feel better. I wasn't to proud and took my pain meds for over a week!

My surgery is July 2nd. Really want to keep up with your progress!
