January 29th

ME TOO!!! I just got my date today!! I am SOOOO excited!! My pre-op tests are on 1/16. Now I just have to hope that insurance approves it! January 29th can't come soon enough!

ETA: I'm being revised from band to sleeve. I'm hoping he can do it all in one surgery, but he warned me that it may have to be done in two parts, depending upon how nasty things are in there (scar tissue and such).

January 8th here! Have had my lapband for 10.5 years, but couldn't tolerate a fill since about month 18. Had kept off only 10 pounds from original high weight before starting this process to convert to sleeve. Am nervous and excited at the same time but ready to do this!! :)

I’m scheduled for January 8th as well. Good luck to both of us getting through pre op liquids phase

Just finished my upper endoscopy this morning. Found a small hernia but all is was good. Shouldn't be any delays to my surgery on Jan 11th! Excited and nervous. Fyi...if you are nervous, let the anesthesiologist know. They have me versed and that called me right down!

I also have a small hiatal hernia and there is no delay for me. I like the suggestion of speaking with the anesthesiologist if you get nervous. my date is January 2nd and I'm a little nervous.

I never thought about having it fixed at surgery. I plan on calling the office and asking. Thank you

Yes, good luck! I have to travel for 2 days of the journey so it will be a challenge to say the least. I've been very good this week (and am down 3.5lbs!) knowing next week I will have a rough two days. Cannot believe it's 10 days out!! Eeek!

I have been traveling for the past two weeks so I get it. Been doing great with shakes during the day but dinner has been noncompliant the last few days. Can’t wait to go home so I can have some semblance of self control. Can’t believe how quick this is approaching.

      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!

        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!!
