July 8th!! I can't believe it is here. We are cleaning and cleaning and cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home! Trying to forget that ill be sleeved by now tomorrow! If I think abiut it too long I might cry. Scared and excited! I worry abiut my girls so much. I know the chances of me dying are slim but they are there. I know my chances of dying witjout the surgery are absolute. I almost died after having my eight year old. I developed congestive heart failure. The thought of her without a mommy was traumatic. My second daughter is adopted from China. I just love them so much and hate to put my life at risk. But in this case it is necessary. Much prayers for all going under tomorrow!

Just think, what a wonderful gift you are giving them both in a new, healthier mommy! I am so excited that I'm sitting here in awe looking at my suitcase after I started this process a long 8 months ago. It's finally here! Wow....

cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home

hopingtolose2013

sterile arrival.???.........are you bringing a baby home??? ;)

kindof i guess...........

a new little baby tummy ;)

as far as you having feelings/fear of death???

you would have to stay inside 24/7 to make sure nothing happened to you "out there" ^_^

all surgeries have complications :angry:

things should/hopefully go without a hitch during and after WLS

"from my lips to Gods ears!!!"

you'll be holding and loving those girls very soon

as OP said - the kids and you will be so much happier, that you have regained your health, and are able to be with them in better health

good luck to you tomorrow

don't be too nervous during surgery

suggestion: how about closing your pretty eyes and taking a nap while the docs do their thing!! :lol:

speedy recovery

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life with the sleeve!!!!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
