All that travel...



Recommended Posts

So, I had my surgery on Tuesday with surgeons in Fort Collins, attending the medical weight loss classes in Fort Collins, having the surgery at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins and I'll be returning to Fort Collins to do my follow-up appointment on September 11th. Normally, I wouldn't be ticked about that... but the same system that manages Poudre Valley Hospital and my surgeon's practice (University of Colorado Health or UCHealth) just opened Long's Peak Hospital in the town I live in, Longmont. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. Longmont is growing so naturally, it may make sense for us to have a second hospital, especially with it being so close to communities in Weld County. Also, considering how yuppie Longmont is starting to become, it's natural that we're going to be getting one of those "birthing centres" too.

... If not for the fact that they offer Bariatric Surgery too. Now, I'm kinda pissed off that I couldn't have my surgery done here in town. Oh well, at least it got done.

Do me a favor. When you are 8 weeks post-op, buy some vanilla pepsi. Set it out so it goes flat, then taste it. I'll bet $20 that you'll be willing to kill a bus full of nuns to NOT have to drink that stuff ever again!!!

Oh, and congrats on your surgery! Good luck!

It's a joke I made to a friend when I was on a pre-op liquid diet.

      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!!
