That is cool that you were at the seminar as well. I was able to bring my two biggest supporters with me, my son and niece. I felt more at ease to see he is also anal and has a great sense of humor. The first funny thing that happen when I got there was when I had to sign in Eva, was super happy and goes you mist be April. All I could do is laugh. My niece was shock that Eva know who I was before asking for my name. It was priceless! I feel can trust Dr Goldstein. Where do you live at? What have you done so far?

It is great to see all y'all wonderful people on this page, i wish everyone the best of luck. I know that can be hard, and make second guess if you are doing the right thing or even test your patience but keep your head and think positive. I look at it as an ultimate goal and greatest challenge I have face. Once you have done what you have completed it will be all worth it on the end. I'm here for support if you need me. Keep up the hard work and good luck!!

Hey Tazi, I'm in Lindenwold NJ also! I started my journey last month and I am halfway through all my clearances (all these copays are killing me). My surgeon Dr. Medvetz is through Our Lady of Lourdes out in Willingboro! Good luck in your journey!

I'm from new Jersey also ! Old bridge new jersey my surgeon is Dr sadek . All I have left is the gastro did the psychtrist cardiac nutrionist and pulmonary surgery date is June 10th. make sure for insurance purposes you follow up that all these approvals are getting faxed to the surgeons . Found out today that my nutrionist never faxed my evaluation so now I'm double checking that everyone sends it all over

      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!!
