I'm in Arlington and trying to pick a surgeon I've been to doctor Kim and I'm set to go to doctor Nicholson... but I would love to have a bariatric support group thats local in the Metroplex I don't have anyone that is very supportive of this... it would be great to have some workout buddies, I know doctor Kim has a support group it only meets once a month it would be good just to have some women to sit with n go through everything together and even sit and plan together especially to lean on during pre diet and post op... Brneyd79@gmail.com hope to meet some of you... I'm trying to decide right now between a sleeve or bypass... I just don't want to do this alone my mom says to do Weight Watchers for 6 months, cut carbs blah blah... as if I haven't tried all of that over and over again.... no 1 in my family has a weight problem and they just don't get it, they think they're being helpful but their comments really are negative

I am using Dr. Swanson at Baylor Grapevine. Tomorrow morning is my surgery!

Does he work with Dr. Matin? Either way, Baylor has great doctors.

      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!!
