Hi. Going public here. Mine is May 1. Did u all tell your siblings and children. I am thinking of just going aol for a few days :)

Congrats and welcome to our May surgery list! I added you to our list. You have a surgery buddy on May 1. I told my hubby, children and just a few close friends/family. Didn't tell my mom or sisters because they are jealous and negative of everything, nonsupportive and they would just be so judgmental. Don't need any of that. Plus, this is for ME! :-)

I can't believe surgery is three weeks away!!! Hey, my surgery buddy - candace0822, are you getting nervous? I know I am. But at the same time, just want to start this journey. Seeing all these post op pics is making me get anxious to get this show on the road.

I just found out I'm offically approved... I'd gotten a message from the doctor's office on Friday and was worried because they had only submitted on Wed or Thurs.

I have my pre-op with my primary tomorrow... it's getting really real.

I visited my mom this past weekend... she's a bit freaked out, crazy worried about the actual surgery and then when I told her about the diet afterwards she was surprised at how little it really was!

Morning Ladies,

I'm finding that most of us having the surgery have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. What is the purpose of this....my doctor doesn't have me on it.

According to my doctor it is to get your intestines as clean as possible and to prepare you for the liquid diet after the surgery..

      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!!
