Hey!! I am hoping to resurrect this thread :) I am having my surgery next Wednesday (jan20th) in Boise. I will be traveling from the other side of Burley so we will staying a couple nights before surgery. It's a little strange going so far from home to have surgery. Any surgery I have had before was near family or friends.

Hi there - I live in Boise and had the sleeve surgery back in June. I am sure it'll go great, just remember to sip that Water afterward and move around as much as you can to work out any gas. You got this!

I personally like the Isopure zero carbs line of protien drinks, I got an Amazon Prime membership as all the supplements etc. we need are good priced, great selection and most two day shipping for free.

Dr Valentine is doing mine and I go to the twin falls meetings. This month was my first and it was fantastic.

Had my first consult with Dr. Valentine yesterday. I have a few hoops to jump through for insurance approval. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery in about four months. Wish it was today. Nervous and excited. Anyone else out there in the same situation?

How many weeks before surgery did dr. Valentine have you on a liquid diet? Just wondering. Thanks.

      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!!
