Beck Gal, congrats on your date!

My insurance requires 6-month diet before surgery, so my pre-op educational class will be in December and surgery some time in January (gastric sleeve). Nervous. Super nervous I'll mess up the diet and/or lower my BMI and my insurance company will retract coverage.

I had to do 7 months of visits with my pcp. My bmi was under my surgeon's requirement for having to do a liquid diet pre-surgery... So I'm pretty psyched about it!!

My last of 6 months visit is Nov 23rd. The surgeon wanted all the test done by then, but the insurance was very slow with the referrals and now the pulmonary Dr had no opening until the 25th. I am hoping this will not cause a delay. I still have no surgery date but it was suppose to be in Jan.

I will be sleeved either December 2nd or December 9th. I can't wAit I am so exited for the new me! I have done two classes I have one more to go and my psych evaluation next week. One final nutritional visit on Nov 13th and then it's submit to insurance and get a date. I wonder why I didn't do this sooner.

I'll be the 9th as well ...

      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!!
