So I had my pre-op appointment today, all went well, lasted for about 4 hours with all different tests. I also signed the consent form :D yay so happy, I should have my surgery date in 2 weeks and I have my pre-op diet details. I'm so ready now! Bring it on! :)

It's so exciting!! I had my pre-op yesterday too! My surgery is next Monday, the 28th! I'm on day two of my preop diet, and while it isn't exactly easy, I know it's all for the better, and in a few weeks I'll be eating "solid" food again :). Good luck to you!!!!!

How long since your first consult with the surgeon to your pre op? I have my first consult coming up on Monday and I'm curious the time frame I'm looking at

I met with the surgeon foe my first consult on January 8th. Insurance required six months of classes. My last class was June 20, and I got my surgery date that day. Insurance approval took about a week (I have united healthcare). Pre admission testing July 14, pre op appt July 21, and surgery is in three days :)

Thank you everyone! I've been on this journey for a few years so I couldn't compare it as mine was adolescence until I turned 18 and now I'm 20, it's finally all gone through! I got my operation date today also, 6th October, bit of a wait but, it's so worth it! Good luck everyone x

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
