Hi #mdlange,

Well I'm in this club I have a March 31st appointment with dr. Lopez and I too am excited! Can't wait to be on the loser bench and on the other side

I loved Dr. Lopez! Sandra was our coordinator and she is just the sweetest thing! You are in good hands! Try to fly in a day early if you can so you have a chance to sight-see. TJ is a fun town!

Hi everyone. Just checking in... My surgery date is next week, Wednesday, March 4th. It's amazing how time flies. I'm down 14 pounds on Week 2 of the pre-op. I start my liquid portion on Sunday. I'm super excited and now starting to focus more mentally now as it's been more on physical and food. Here's to all who have gone before us and all who will go after us - to better health and a successful journey!

      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!!
