Hello, I'm having my op on the 7th too! It's exciting to have other people going in at the same time. I'm in Australia and getting nervous about it. I start 2 weeks of Optifast this Wednesday.

My preauthorization went through fairly quick. I attended a seminar on 5/21/13 and was approved to move forwards on 6/29th. Dr told me to lose about 15 pounds...I called on 7/10 to report that I'd lost 17 pounds. He wanted to set the surgery originally for 7/20, but he was booked that day, so I am scheduled on the 2 to making the biggest decision in my adult life! To change...for me! Good Luck to everyone out there!

Good luck to you too. Its lovely that there are so many here who can support each other. Am feeling nervous as my date approaches. But I think the nerves are normal. Im sure I will freak out a little afterwards too but I think thats normal too. Its irreversable and a drastic change but I have to remember how much I need to do this.

      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!!
