August 23rd. Had to go through six month medically surprised weight program first and all the other hoops. I can't wait! Not looking forward to the two weeks prior. Can't imagine being on liquids for two weeks. Blegh.

August 30th surgery date in Charlotte, NC

I started this journey September 2015. I'm a fact finder by nature so I could not go into this until I understood it all. The research was part of it all. Now I'm ready.

I have my surgeon pre-op visit Aug 5 @ 0930 and then @1030 with the Anesthesia department. I'm getting all my questions together because I know Aug 10, I'll be in la la land.

Besides I get most of my answers on this forum. lol

I'm getting sleeved on the 9th.

Anyone have Instagram? I don't do the fb thing but use IG for weightloss stuff. "Joni.gets.sleeved" is my username.

Mine is August 19th. My insurance won't cover this so it seems to have been a very short time since I made the decision to have the surgery. I started the process last week of May. I'm not sure what else I have to do before the surgery. I have a three hour appointment on August 3 where I guess I'll be told all the details.

      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!!
