I had a mini bypass in Mexico in Nov. (Bariatric Pal MX and Dr. Illan were amazing!) I was shocked how smooth everything went- very efficient. The hospital and hotel were very nice, the medical care exceeded 95% of my medical care in the states (and I've had a LOT of medical care due to MS the last 15 years). Jitters are completely normal, but you've got this! For me, the pre-op diet (and giving up sugar, carbs, and Diet Coke) was a lot harder for me than surgery and recovery. Distract yourself as much as possible until you go. Let us know how it goes!!

        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!!
