That's great news for you to have certainty on the date. You're up for surgery the day before me, so I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Hopefully they make sense since I'm sure I'll be medicated! [emoji13]

Hi Jaz!

I’m in the process too! My insurance isn’t as strict, and there are only a few more classes, lose a couple more pounds, and a psych clearance I need to finish before I get a surgery date. I’m hoping for an April/May surgery date. Good luck on your journey!

I just have two more weigh-ins for the supervised diet, the psych eval, an upper GI study and the recommendation from my doctor. I am not scared of surgery except wondering if I can handle so much less food. ive lost 20 lbs so far during my supervised diet. They said it takes a while to be approved and get into surgery so probably May.

I Jus started the process also last month I got the ref to go to be seminar, I went last Thursday and they didn't have any consultation appt until the end of April almost may, which was insane . So I'm going to a different program they have a seminar tomorrow and your consult is within that week. They are also a multidisciplinary program which is great bcus my insurance ghi emblem required a 6 month program or 3 month program with a multidisciplinary. So I guess I will see what happens

      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!!
