Hey surgery buddies :) mine is July 13th and I start the pre op diet on June 29th! I am sooo excited and terrified at the same time!!! What are your worst fears? Mine are definitely that I won't stay on track after surgery and the pre op diet! ????

Hey girl! I am starting my pre-op on July 5th (gotta have 1 more hotdog for the 4th lol). I think my biggest fear is post-op eating. I have my nutrition guide and everything but I don't want to eat the wrong stuff and fail. I think because I am Cash Pay and if I don't loose the weight I want to it's like 15,000 down the drain.

I am scheduled for July 15. I only have Clear Liquids the day before surgery. I am really nervous and am fighting off second thoughts. I still have a cardiac clearance on Monday to get through but everything else has been completed. I am self paying because our insurance does not cover any weight loss surgery.

@heatgerrc1 - are you cash pay as well?

@nikkiblueeyes yes, I sure am. I am in Middle Tennessee and mine is $12k. I could probably have paid for this with the money I spent on yo-yo dieting and trying every new plan on the market. Grrrr! I'm thinking about per pound the cost and I sure don't want to screw this up!

I was looking at a center in Tennessee but my family was concerned about the traveling from New Jersey. I was happy to find a place in New Jersey that offered cash pay at a decent rate $15,000. My goal is to be down 145 lbs so it's $103 per pond lol

I can understand their concerns. My original date my husband was out of town and I was going to count on a family member and that was scary... I can't imagine be away from home that far! Yep, bout a $102 a pound... Whew!! And to think how excited I get when chicken breast is on sale for $3 a pound... Lol

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
