I am also December 27th! Feel free to join the our December FB Group. We have about 45 members. Look up "Janus" on Facebook then click the groups tab. I believe it should be the first one. It would be awesome to have buddies with the same date!

No that did not work for Facebook for me. I find myself watching videos all the time and now this app. I really would love to have a few people to talk to so if you could send me the group that would be great. My Facebook name is NetteStillKutnup.

I'm not worried about Mexico. I have spent 5 years jumping through hoops to get my insurance to cover the cost. My bmi is 49 and I can't wait any longer. Surgery is $38,000 here. Mexico is $5900. I did a lot of research and decide on Mexico.

Weightloss surgery is an exclusion in my insurance policy. Surgery is around 40k here and about 6k in Mexico. I've cleared it with my PC, Neuro, endo, and gastro. They are all on board on doing my after care and I feel pretty comfortable with my decision. Gotta have faith.

      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!!
