Sleeve tomorrow[emoji16] I am so ready. I have lost 100 lbs 3 times only to regain. This will be the permanent tool I needed.
Wish me luck.
And to everyone waiting, please hang in there. It is going to be worth it.

Good luck!!!!

I'm getting ready. It's in less than 2 weeks. Am cleaning out my freezers and fridge to keep only useful stuff.. Takes time. And getting ready with extra Protein Powder, collagen which has no taste and amazing amounts of Protein - and of bee pollen to add to later smoothies. The powdered collagen is amazing. I tried 2 tsp in a cup of espresso coffee and no taste difference. You can add it anywhere and it raises your protein effortlessly.

Best of luck and I wish you the best!



I understand the whole pill thing! I take so many meds because I am bipolar and that is how this all came about for me. I still take a ton and now we have to add in the Vitamins. Best of luck to all of us on this journey!

I'm getting mine done on the 10th at McGee Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA with Dr. Anita Courcoulas. For most of her patients she does not require a pre-op diet!

Still waiting to hear my surgery date, doc said end of January/beginning of February, can’t wait!!!




That's the same general timeframe I was given! I have my final appointment with the surgeon on January 15... That's when I will get my date.

I'm in my hospital room right now, awaiting surgery in Puerto Vallarta Mexico (Dr Armando Joya). This will either be the best or worst decision of my life. I predict the best.

I wish my insurance would pay, but at least there were no hoops for me to jump through being private pay. I decided in December to have surgery and it was booked the same day I asked, and now surgery is today. It's scary how easy it was but I am very confident in my surgeons skills, and I know I need this to be healthy. In hindsight I almost wish I had those hoops to jump through because I'm kind of regretting not being more prepared for it. I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of person apparently.

My surgery is the 23rd and from what I have been reading many people are glad they had their operation.

Have faith and push through.

      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!!
