Hello, Everyone!

My date is April 21st and at 7:30a.m.

I am also 5' 5" tall. Seems to be quite a common height on here ☺️

My highest weight was 298 and as of today I am down to 273. I am quite happy about it because due to the weight lost beyond 5% I only have to do 8 days of full liquid diet and one day of Clear liquids the day before surgery.

My surgeons office sent my paperwork to my insurance on the 20th so now I just sit (or walk) and wait to find out whether they are going to authorize this or not. I am terrified they won't approve me right away and I will have to fight them. I already have leave approved and everything in place.

I am so happy to have the people here to talk with!

Hello everyone

I am suppose to have my surgery in the morning (Good Friday) at 7:15 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am. I'm hoping everything goes well. I had a heart attack in October 2014. They were some concerns about the CABG. Around 4:30 pm I got a call telling me that my white blood cell count was elevated when I did a blood tests. I have COPD and had been sick.

So wish me well. I will let everyone know how it turns out. If my date changes I will let you know. Congratulations to all April new journeymen (an women). Good Luck and speedy recovery to all.

      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!!
