I plan on attending. My 6 month docs were just submitted to my Insurance for approval. Interested in meeting those who have already experienced pre & Post Op. Is the meeting only open to BP members or can spouses attend as well?

FYI, Alex messaged me. He apologized for missing the meeting but had a last minute switch with his ex and has the kids with him. At least we know why he didn't make it and fortunately, it's not because he or the kids are unwell.

@@Jyoyonomore So excited for you!!! We will have to plan our next meeting for after your surgery so we can see how you are doing and give you our full support!!

I thought it best to take September off with all the back to school and holiday's etc. Not to mention a bit of personal "stuff" minor car accident...and we adopted 2 puppies! It's really like having babies again, as we train them :) So it's been a bit of an action packed month for me and the hubby.

Looking forward to seeing everyone really soon! Love to hear what you have all been up to!

Hi to those I met in August as well.

Congrats Jyoyonomore! (Apologies that I don't recall your given name.) I am also getting excited because I had the band in 2011, if you recall my story. I had some complications with my esophagus, and I've put on weight since having had my band unfilled. But, I'm having revision surgery on October 20th from the band to the VSG!

YAY!

      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!!
