Tomorrow is my 24hr liquid day and Wednesday is the big day!!! I'm so numb to emotion right now. I truly don't know how I'm feeling... I just can't believe the time has come!

I'm in Hampton Virginia. My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I only have to be on Clear Liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery. I think it depends on what your BMI is and how your liver function test comes back. I guess I am lucky. Good luck to you also.

My surgery date is Oct 28th but today was crazy day in this crazy journey. Last week my surgeons office tells me that they have not received a support letter from my primary care doctor, so i call to get this taken care off, they tell me they will get back to me. So, today they call me to tell me that my doctor supports the surgery but doesn't thinks it is necessary to write the letter. I call the doctors office back to tell them it is necessary and they tell me that the doctor is out of the country until October 13( too late to get insurance approval by the 28th). They said that they could try to get the doctor to send a letter before they have no contact with her until the 13th. Thank god she sent the letter so they can send to the insurance for approval. I have my pre surgery check up with my primary care, my pre op appointments set, and last nutritionist appointment set to start my liver reduction diet. Then on the 28th I get my birthday present, my surgery. Nervous but excited.

      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!!
