Met with Dr Juarez today, didn't get much done..he kept saying if my "insurance" didn't approve me for the sleeve they would do the bypass....I go thru the V.A. and am already approved for the sleeve, I don't want the bypass....but he kept saying this over and over he wasn't listening at all......then did my 101 class which was a waste of time for me as I have already learned all of this stuff thru these boards lol then I have thier 201 class on the 4th and suppose to have surgery 2 weeks after so I'm guessing around the week of the 14th I'm all like let's do it today already!!!!

talked to my NUT today who coordinates everything with the VA and St Lukes she said they will do the tests soon and have me scheduled probably the week of the 18th of Feb for the sleeve not the bypass

      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!!
