I've been going thru all of this since late May, first appt was June 24, and ive been hoop jumpn til I got the call while shoppn in Walmart! Date was set for Dec 13th pre, then Dec 20th surgery, I literally danced in Walmart. Then got a second call when I got home from shoppn, changed from 20 to 30th of Dec. I was sad but glad bc they had first told me Feb 2014:(( so for me its been 6 months but not bc of ins or diet but bc of gov issues, military:( newhoo. I'm here now, Thank God!!

I've been whiney about not having any time off after the surgery. I work part time and already took my 1 week of vacation. It never occurred to me to ask, especially since its medical! So I asked what my options were and was told to go ahead and fill out paperwork for FMLA "just in case" I need an unexpected extended time off. I got all of that taken care of and now will have about 9 days off! So glad to know I can at least recover for just a bit!

I have Horizon too. I had 3 visits, 2 with the Nut and one with the surgeon. First initial visit was Aug and would have been sleeved in Oct. but ran into snag with my cardiac clearance. It was very fast turn around. I had everything all sewn up in record time and then wham..lol

I'm right with you on that one MissKatt...when I scheduled my surgery, I kept saying....WOW....I have 6 1/2 weeks I have to wait for this? I'll just NEVERRRRRRR make it. (LOL). Now I am 26 days away, with a holiday in between (which will go by in a blur), and I start my liquid diet in 2 1/2 weeks...it's just speeding right along!

Yeah! As I sat in the scheduler's office and she said his first available is Decemeber 2nd. I was like oh my gosh this is going to be the slowest month ever! To my surprise it is flying by. I start my 14 day Pre-op on Monday already.

It really is going by quickly.

      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!!
