It seems like since I've started the process for this surgery it's been one thing after another and in the last two weeks things have came crashing down! First thing that happened my friend decided she wasn't going to watch my son and instead of telling me she just avoided me. It's been problem after problem but today I've finally had it. I was suppose to have my medicine by today. I called the pharmacy I won't get my medication, some of it pre-op meds, until Tuesday. My surgery is on Monday... I'm so stressed out! I'm going to have to make the 5-6 hour trip home with no pain meds and hope they can give me my pre-op meds in the hospital. I'm sorry to vent it just seems like it's been one thing after another! I'm hoping nothing else happens otherwise I might be tempted to cancel and go on!

Im so sorry that you are experiencing all of these challenges, I do hope things change for you soon, as your surgeon about your pan meds because mine was filled at the hospital before I left and they were even cheaper. Good luck my friend and perhaps your friend is getting insecure about your new you. Congrats on your choice in being healthy.

I was hoping they would just give me a prescription after surgery but my doctor only goes through certain pharmacies then they are supposed to send them out fedex 2 days. Well that didn't happen. They sent them out yesterday and didn't use two day :( so the medication will arrive the day after surgery and I won't be home :( thank you so much for your kind words! I'm going to really try and look at the bright side of things and stay optimistic! I hope nothing else goes wrong though :(

Well he gave me a prescription but I couldn't get it filled anywhere so I just dealt with the trip home. I'm overall pretty disappointed in this whole process but happy the surgery is done and I'm home!

      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!!
