As of right now I'm scheduled or December 16 @ 8am - only a 2 day pre-op diet. After meeting with the surgeon here in town and feel very confident I am in very good hands. Love him and his office manager.

My last dietician appointment is November 26th so they said if I'm approved I'm looking at a December surgery :)

I was hoping for 12/23 but it looks like my doctor's office is going to be pretty barren that week. They said if they decide they'll be doing surgeries that week they will move my date from 12/16 to 12/23. As of right now 12/23 is my one week follow up appointment. :)

Hi December ladies and gentlemen. I'm coming from the October group. Bummed that I have to wait 8 more weeks, but I'm starting a new job and just couldn't do the time off. I work at a community college so as soon as exams are done...hola Tijuana !

I started teaching at a CC this semester and that's why I'm looking at a December date - gotta love the nice break between semesters. My last exam is the 11th (or is it the 12th?) surgery is scheduled for the 16th and the Spring semester starts 1/16. So I'm hoping that's plenty of time to recuperate. Plus, my husband has 2 weeks off at Christmas time so he will be able to take good care of me :)

My job is busiest before Christmas and new projects starts beginning of January. I'm hoping to use the holidays for recovery as well. :)

My last dietician appointment will be mid-November. Should be able to submit shortly thereafter and hopefully get approval in 2 weeks from then. Looking like December, for me too!

Ugh I need to lose 11 more pounds by nov 26th. It seemed like a long time but trying to lose more than what I already have lost is difficult. I keep losing and gaining now >.<

I have my first appointment on Tuesday and I've been told my supervised diet will last for 3 months. Hoping for late December as my wife will be off for the holidays. It may end in January though.

So I got my date 12/23/13. Before x-mas my gift to myself lol

. Yah I'm so happy for you. I've got mine scheduled for Dec 7th now and I can't wait. Some days I get a little nervous and wonder will this really work for me? And will I get fat again? But I think that comes with our territory and past failures. So I'm going to continue to think positive and jump this cliff that's holding me back from being healthy. And Dec can't get here soon enough.

      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!!
