3 weeks until my big day. Starting my pre-op diet today, because I want to meet my goal that I set for myself of being 300 or lower on the day of my surgery. I am not nervous or anything I have had a bunch of surgeries already. I am just ready to get it over with, I am tired of counting down the days.

well I had my surgery yesterday and I am amazed by the pain I have. They keep telling me its gas, but it feels like I am getting stabbed. Hope this doesn't last long. Will be coming home today.

I go for my preop testing this afternoon -- surgery Monday morning. That is if insurance cooperates -- I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday that insurance needed a copy of my sleep study report from last year. They already had a clearance letter from the pulmonologist and I've been on cpap for a year but they were asking for one more piece of info. I'm praying this doesn't mean my surgery is going to get denied after pre-approval.

Send happy thoughts my way.

@chrisglowers

Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

Chrisflowers.. I was told that pain could be gas but also from all the poking and prodding they do on the left side. Get up and walk walk walk...

      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!!
