I am
11 days from my surgery and it has gone really well. I was nervous as well and just tried to focus on my whys and the future and that helped me.. also prepping for after surgery helped a lot too... everyone’s journey is different and so breathe and try to relax as much as you can!! Good luck!!



Happy New Year! And congrats on your surgery. Im trying my best to relax i know i will be a mess on the big day. I've already prepped my surgeon for tears lol. But it's a new year, so new me. Thank you for the kind words.

I’m struggling so hard. I have no energy, no desire to consume anything. I feel like my liquids are just sitting in my chest. I nearly cried at how horrible I felt taking a shower this afternoon, even my cat was freaked out. (Haha he even waited to ask for his dinner)

Hi, all. Happy New Year!

I'm a little unhappy right now.

I'm, 5'6.75", was 220 lbs. So I'm a low BMI with masjid comorbidities.

We'll, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. Finally feeling better but when weighed yesterday, I was down 15 lbs!

I have orientation on Tuesday at Kaiser So. San Francisco and am afraid of getting weighed and being rejected for the surgery.

Just need some support right now. I'm freaking out.

Thanks in advance.

I went through a different program but didn’t get weighed at orientation.

Perhaps the co-morbidities will be enough? Or can you postpone?

I watched a YouTube video of a woman just back from her orientation at Kaiser Sacramento I think and she said they were weighed.

My orientation is Tuesday so I'm going to call the center tomorrow and tell them the situation and ask if they weigh.

I'm not freaking out anymore. It is what it is. And if I have to be referred again, so be it.

Thank you for replying. I really, really appreciate it.

Hello! I live in the Bay Area and had my surgery on December 14 at Roseville SUTTER. I am currently experiencing a stall in my weight loss and am getting a bit discouraged! Anyone else experience a stall this early post op? (I’m 2 months post op)

:-) Just followed you! Maybe I should consider an Insta for just this journey. I'm pretty private about it so haven't posted anything but it might be nice to have a photo record.

      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!!
