Dr. Evanson is doing mine. They called me on a Wednesday to set up a time for all my test and they only do them on a Friday . They had that Friday open so I took it. I had them all done in one day in Logansport. I got a call 12 days later with a surgery date.

Oh wow that's great!! I just love dr evanson. He did my lap band surgery even though I had to have it moved to no fault of his or mine. It slipped! So I would have no one else do mine. I praying for a may surgery!!

Today is my last day to what I want. Tuesday morning is my surgery. I'm not going to lie I'm scared. I know I'm doing it for the right reasons. My health but it doesn't make it any easier.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I feel like I'm going to a funeral . Saying good buy to my old life and when I wake up from surgery. I will be walking in a field of butterflies. With a new start in life. It will be a lot of work but I'm worth it.

I did. I had my surgery one month ago. It takes some time but there is

a list of thing's you need to complete . From start to finish it took me about 7 to 8 months to get my approval letter. It is so worth the work. I have lost 40lb my first month. I feel so much better.

      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!!
