I went to my doctor yesterday and got my operation date. It will be October 15th. I'm a little nervous but looking forward to it. Who else has an October date?

to all of you keep following up call your insurance provider and ask for a status. Often times the approvals have gone through but have not reached the physicians office yet. I had my surgery 10/29/12 down 87 pounds still have a ways to go but would do it again in a heart beat. Hang in there and be persistent with your insurance and docs office.

I haven't booked my surgery yet. Still a little nervous. Any advice?

I'm not one to have any great advice, but what I'm doing is trying to turn it over to God and follow him where I feel he is leading me. I'm nervous about it because it is going to be a huge change and I've never had major surgery before. My relationship with food has changed over the pay few months and after surgery it will significantly change. I'm happy and at ease because I'm being lead in a healthier direction and that is better for me and everyone around me.

I am waiting on my doctors scheduler to call to schedule my surgery. Its been over two weeks since my insurance approved my surgery. The longest wait has been waiting on the doctors staff. Trying to stay positive. Just a little annoyed...but all in GODS time. That's what I keep telling myself.

My surgery is Monday 26th... So excited! Only all I have to do is a 3 day liquid diet. Does that seem right?

      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!!
