Hiya Bariatric buddies and Peeps!Just little sweet me checking in. Well I had my appointment at OSU today, yes the self-same one I have babbling about for a whole month.
Saw my nurse-practioner Valerie
Dietician-Roy, yeah a young good-Looking slender guy.
Exercise physiologist-Kelly
Didn't get to meet Case Manager Jessica, she was in another conference but will call me tomorrow or Tuesday, because Monday is a holiday.
Per Nurse Valerie I have to have Cardiologist and Pulmanologist both fax notes and observations or I have to go through both again. Dr Karve( cardio) did it today after I spoke to them, had to leave message with Dr Hussein (pulmo) medical assistant since he wasn't in today. Once that is filed where it's supposed to be, no more than 3 weeks until surgery. Alas no iron-clad date, I'm betting on June, my son Tomkitten says July, and he tends to be psychic about betting and such things. When his late dad was alive and would take his advice they "cleaned up" at the races frequently.
At least I should be done and starting to,lose before my high school class reunion August 11th. I hate to tell you how many years it has been , if you remember how old I keep telling people I am , you can figure it for yourself. 😪 But things are still moving kachug kachug along down my bariatric track toward the finish line. I had hoped to book on a bullet or express train, not one that goes at 3mph and stops for every dog,🐶 pony🐎 or goat🐐 that ventures onto the track.🚝

Frustr8- Just one more hoop, but not a denial! I hope we have close surgery dates, so we can track together. Also, can your son send me 6 numbers for the Texas lotto, it would make paying off my surgery so much easier. 😂

Oh you’re definitely doing surgery sooner than me. You are starting your liquid diet already. My pre-op appointment is June 12th and I believe I start my liquid diet that day or the next! Glad to have an approval buddy! Keep us posted about your date!

      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!!
