Had my son at 40 and it has been impossible to get the weight off. I am so excited to embark on this journey and even more excited to get back to a comfortable place and be able to keep up with a toddler... it is no joke at 43!

I know how you feel. I have a 3 year old at 38 so getting the weight off has been huge. Good luck to you!

You must be so busy with your little guy! I see you're from B-Lo; I am too but plan to go through Kaleida Health at Buffalo General as they take my insurance. Where are you having yours?

Hi there neighbor!!! I am going to Dr. Caruana at Synergy Bariatrics. My insurance would only pay if it was done at a Bariatric Center of Excellence and I know so many ppl who went to him and did very well. Dr. Caruana used to operate out of Sisters but on January 1st of this year he started operating exclusively out of ECMC. They built him his own OR suite and the unit we are recovering in is like a resort! It is going to be like a vacation! (that is what I am hoping at least!)

Good luck Bella, I know how hard it is keeping up with a toddler when you are heavy. I wish I had had this surgety 30 yrs ago, it would have been so much better for me and child. This one of the best

hthings that I have ever done for myself. Just remembet after your surgery you need to get up and stary walking this will help the gas dissapate so you don't have gas pains, also drink your Water. Good Luck

That sounds awesome! I just double checked with my insurance (Empire Plan) and Dr. Caruana isn't listed :(

I totally understand having a 2 year old at 41! My energy level has increased since having surgery and I know my levels will continue to increase as the scale goes down,

      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!!
