Two hours until surgery!



Recommended Posts

I feel calm and ready, despite some nerves. I am ready for the postop pain and changes. I am just afraid of not making it through surgery or having a complication after. All of the normal stuff I guess. I am holding onto my "Why" like nothing else right now. I will never forget the first time I heard about this surgery, I was probably like 10. I was watching the story they did about Al Roker on NBC. I remember watching him as he lost weight and being so excited for him. I wish I hadn't gotten to this point but I am looking forward to getting my life back and being the person I always knew I could be.

Listen, soon enough we'll all be or have already been where you're at today. Just breath and keep thinking positive. Think about how happy you were to watch someone you don't even know slime down... now magnify those feelings by a thousand and that's how you'll fell about your own transformation. Good luck Bari-friend you got this!!!:)

      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!!
