I'm nervous. Sept 21. I keep going back and forth over doing this... Don't do this. I'm self pay and lower BMI. I kind of feel guilty.

Why do u feel guilty?

I think because I'm "new fat," I guilty for doing this because this has not been a life long struggle for me. But you know what... New fat or life long fat, I'm struggling so I'm moving forward towards getting things back on track! Only one week to go now.

Good luck! Keep us posted when you can. :)

Update : Well yesterday first my sugery got postponed for hours because of a Emergency, then finally it was my turn to get surgery, I was so nervous yet anxious, so I pray and pray and that gave me some comfort then As soon as I got put to sleep, It felt like I opened my eyes and the surgery was over, the pain I was in yesterday was HELL, yup pure HELL , I had 5 kids natural and that pain yesterday was WORST, I couldn't talk, drink or walk, the meds weren't helping but honestly as time passed the easier it got, I was in a 9 in pain after the surgery by evening I was a 4 and this morning , a 2, I been walking and sipping and the dr said , he's going check me his next rounds and if I been drinking my fluids, I will get the ok to leave today, I have no gas pains and I have no regrets and thank you everyone for the prayers and for checking on me , best of luck to everyone and hope everyone has a speedy recovery

      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!!
