It's hard to believe the day is nearly here. I've been waiting since just before Thanksgiving! 18 hours from now they wheel me in! Bon chance, everyone!

I have to be at the hospital in 14 hours from now. I'm so ready. I'm hoping for a speedy procedure and a speedy bounce back. My doc says he'll take great care of me. Good luck to everyone.

Almost ready to head out to the hospital. I have everything I need. Can't believe how slowly and yet how quickly this day has come! I really can't believe it's here. I feel really calm and happy. Best of luck to all the 8/17 sleevers!

Still feeling really good but my heart rate is up so that has me a little worried. My hubby & the kids just left and now I am going to try and get a nap in before my next walk. I'll will post again in the morning ????

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
