Hi all! I am excited to announce that I have gotten approved by insurance for my surgery date of January 13, 2016. Now that I have insurance approval I can finally breathe for the first time since starting this journey. My current weight is 277 and I am a 5'4, 21 year old female. I love reading other people's success stories hoping that I too can be successful. This may sound crazy, but my surgeon does not require a preop diet. I just can't eat after midnight the night before. I feel like I am already cheating by not needing the diet. Now that my surgery is less than a month away I am trying to be more conscious of my eating habits, and I'm trying to refrain from drinking Water while eating (which for me is literally impossible). I plan to blog throughout my journey at gastricbypass2015.wordpress.com. Hopefully, readers can hold me accountable to that. I would love to talk to anyone on here about their journeys, especially young people like myself. Everyone says my skin will bounce back because I am young, who knows how true that really is, but I am curious to know. Good luck to all those pre and post op on their new leases on life.

      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!!
