Hi All,

I am newto this site. I am also just starting my wieght loss journey. I have my information session at Kaiser on the 8th. Then I start the options classes either end of January or sometime in February depending on the class time. I am excited to finally get in control of my weight. I am hope to have my surgery over the summer so that I don't have to miss school. I am almost done with my BA in Libral Studies.

A little about me: I have been with my husband almost 9 years. We have been married just over 3 years. We have 3 children. 2 boys 8 and 3, and a girl who is 7 months. She is the princess for sure. The boys are in Karate and so we spend a lot of time at their dojo. My kids are my pride and joy. I love spending time with my family and my friends. I am in college (BA in Liberal Studies). I also take care of my grandma. She is 89 and she still works 5 days a week for the library. She no longer drives so I am happy to be her personal driver :) She is still adjust to not having a car but it is safer for everyone.

I am hoping that this surgery will help me lose weight so that I can actually exercise more than 2 days a week. i have back issues that prevent me from dooing a lot of things. My doctor belives this surgery will help.

Thank you.

Jennifer

GingerDiane,

I wasn't able to do any of those things on the app, I had to go through the website. Are you having those problems on the website? If so maybe you should contact their web support.

      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!!
