Surgery was Monday the 8th. Getting discharged today. I'm excited about the future. I still have concerns about getting in the requirements and what\when to tell those who start to ask, but I'm sure it will be all worth it. I'm 54 years old and weight has been a life long battle. I knew that this had to be done so that I could enjoy the rest of my life without so many meds and complications from excess weight.

My doctor's orders were as long as I was off the narcotic pain meds I could drive. I felt up to going out about 5 days out. Could have driven before that tough if I had to.

Guys, I'm freaking out a bit. My pre-op appointment is tomorrow and I've managed to lose another ten pounds from my last appointment (-124lbs since Spring of 2016, BEFORE ANY SURGERY!!!), but I am still terrified that Dr. Patterson is going to find a reason to deny me surgery. If y'all could say some prays/light candles whatever for me to be calm and collected, I'd appreciate it. I'm probably going to take some of my emergency Xanex tomorrow, LOL :60_sweat:

I am, thanks! I'm just so ready to be "post-op" instead of "pre-op", y'know? :)

      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!!
