Hi All,

How'd the meeting go? I'm sorry I missed it! I had several client calls this morning and was unable to call in.

The meeting was good. We had 1 person show up! Hoping for more to show at the next meeting.

What surgeries are you guys having? I'm having my band done and Wesley long hospital.

We are both having a Gastric Bypass at WakeMed Cary. Looking like we will have almost all the pre testing done by September 1. There may be 3 left.

That's great! Are you planning on having the surgeries at the same time?

That's our goal. We have no family here so we have to see if we can find someone to come be a "babysitter" if not the we will have to go separate.

Our children are all grown. We are hoping that either one will be able to come stay for a week or that my sister n law can come.

Have you been to any of the support groups around here yet?

Not yet. The hospital I'm having surgery at has 2 different support groups but I haven't been to any of them yet. One of them is during the day so I doubt I'll make it to any of those but I am going to try to make the evening ones.

      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!!
