6 days post op and I have yet to put on make up or fix my hair, I just take my bath, wash my face and let my hair dry naturally!! (Very scary)

I have a call into the surgeons office, about a problem with my arm where my IV was at (in the bend of my arm) and the vein has swollen and I can't straighten my arm completely out! So I'm hoping they will take a look at it today!!

So sorry to hear about your trouble. Maybe in the next day or so you can go to the salon and get your hair done. I am a hairstylist and at our salon we take walk ins as well as our regulars. I have had many ladies who were not my reg. clients come in for a Shampoo and style after surgery. Sometimes there reg stylist can't fit them in, and they always leave saying how awesome it was to get a good shampoo/scalp massage. Having there hair styled professionally makes them feel so much better. Anyway, just a suggestion that might make you feel better.:)

      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!!
