Hello All!!! I am located in Memphis, TN. My date is scheduled for 6/25/12 by Dr. Robert Wegner. I have been heavy my whole life and it's time I solved it once and for all. I've done Weight Watchers and other weight loss methods several times. I must admit..........I am scared out of my mind.

Thank you. This group is extremely helpful. I can't make it to the support groups at the hospital, but I think this is better........24 hour access. Lol

Thanks. I'm not too worried about pain. I have a high threshold, and my friend had hers last year, so I pretty much have an idea of what to expect. I worried about complications.

      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!!
