So I went to my pre op appointment Wednesday and from the previous appointment I was told my surgery was going to be dec. 1, but they pumped it up to this Monday.Iam so nervous IAM glad I have a good support system because I COULD NOT do it alone. Kids have to go to school and such. Hopefully everything turns out great ????

Just keep a positive attitude. Follow your doctor's orders exactly and drink and walk as much as you can. Sending prayers up for you and your surgeons.

how exciting to be told your surgery is being moved up

better than moving it back a week or so :o

surgery has been sprung up earlier than planned - that is so exciting

great that you have people right there to support you :)

OMG - monday is the day after tomorrow, or the day before tuesday :huh:

hmmmm i think they are one in the same!! :D

good luck

speedy recovery

Good for you! Now you can get it over with and start healing. That is over a week less that you have to worry. Don't forget to take some chapstick.

Iam getting butterflies in my stomach from nervousness and excitement... GOD has surely blessed me. Can any of you tell me what to take ?? The hospital is about a hour ...hour and a half with traffic.

From what I've read, I plan on taking my phone and charger, slippers, roomy comfy clothes for going home in, Gas X strips, Burt Bees extra moisturizing lip balm, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, my reg meds and my own pillow for sleeping and for padding on the drive home. If possible, use a dark or brightly colored pillowcase so you don't forget and leave it behind.

I think it's probably good to have less time to stress before surgery. Best of luck and looking forward to a post op update. A new world awaits you!

      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!!
