Jennifer,

Hope you find someone close to you stage in the WLS process. I started a few months ahead of you at Rollers also. January 3 this year. I have surgery scheduled next Wednesday. Dr. Kwon will be my surgeon.

Hang in there, read this and other forums and get as informed as you can.

Good Luck,

Rick

Hello! I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I had a little insurance issue so i got discouraged and decided to quit the program. However I am back now. My husbands job switched insurance companies and I thru my pre-existing phase, yes, being overweight is considered pre-existing. The new insurance doesn't require a 6 month diet or pscyh eval. I already had the pscyh eval though. I just have to be over 18, bmi over 40, and do it thru a bariatric center of excellence. I feel very fortunate that i do not have to jump thru a bunch of hoops. I just have to do the EGD and lab work. When is your surgery date? I hope you are still on here.

Jennifer

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
