I just had my approval from insurance verified and and scheduled for June 26th! I'm equal parts nervous/excited/scared. I have lost 14 lbs during my 90 day (insurance required) doctor monitored diet. I live near Dallas and will be having surgery with Dr. Kennedy.

Is anyone near me and prepping for a June date? I could use a buddy to go through this with.

I am sched for June 25th....and instead of eating right I have been having this feeling of eat this or that while u still can...I. have to get this under control or im going to gain soooo much weight before surgery, which I definitely don't want to do!!!!

Hey! I don't know why I didn't see this until now! I was doing so well for a few months making all these positive changes preop and I lost 20 lbs! And then I had a good two weeks of going out to eat and eating eeeeeverything. But some crazy miracle I only gained back about 4 pounds, but I know I'm a runaway train at this point and really need to get my crap together this coming month before surgery! How have u been doing since??

I get back to the states on May 31st and have surgery scheduled for June 4th. Starting to get a tad nervous, but glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      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!!
