Wow you guys! The 18th and 21st of December? What a great Christmas present!!! I'd be terrified too! The time will come before you know it and you'll be on the losers bench. I of course will be your cheerleader in a very long skirt. ;) Cuz ain't nobody wanna see that! ;) Ha! *snort* But I will be secretly jealous and envious of you. :D Good times, huh?

Ok 😕 thanks for asking. These days are hard, but I’m sticking to it. 3 more pre-op days to go. Just trying to remember all the reasons I have for doing this when I’m starving!

Hang in there!! We are all rooting for you!!

So 3 more days until surgery!!! I leave Monday for Tijuana and Tuesday is surgery day!! I’m getting sooo nervous! I’m getting a slight cold I’m trying to knock out. I hope I’m not getting sick and it stands in the way of my surgery....

Thank you! I know you will, you are an awesome supporter already on this forum. I have started to settle down and just focus on one day at a time. I was so anxious to get to the 21st, that it consumed my thoughts. At this point, I just want to enjoy the journey before, during, and after my surgery.

Today is the day!!! I got into Tijuana yesterday, got my bloodwork, chest X-ray, and barium swallow done. I’m checked into the hospital, the IV is hooked up, and they just did the final EKG so I’m ready to go!! Surgery is scheduled at 9:00 AM!!!!

I’m so scared but after meeting my team of Dr.s I’m convinced I chose the right place. Dr Lopez Corvala was very kind and spent a lot of time answering my questions, the hospital is beautiful, and the staff attentive.

I’ll check back in as soon as I can and let you know how everything went.

      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!

      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!!
