I am sooo happy! Today I went in for my surgeon consultation and he said “as far as I am concerned, you are at your goal weight”!! He said my liver feels good and he believes I would be a great candidate for VSG even with my history of GERD. He believes that it will

Improve with weight loss and If I have a Hiatal Hernia he will repair it so it will improve. That was my only concern with the sleeve. Other than that I completed my EKG, my Blood Work, and met with my case manager all in one day! So happy! My date is scheduled for March 28th! Kaiser Richmond. Yay!!

Congratulations, I am only 2 days post-op and the pain has been real but it's getting better gradually. Major regret hit on 1 day post-op but it's slowly dissipating now. I can already tell this will be the best decision I have made for myself. I tear up just thinking that I could be at my goal weight in a year, when I have never been normal weight in my entire life (chubby kid and all). WE CAN DO THIS!

That's awesome! I am going through Kaiser in Bakersfield. I have two classes left, already received my medical approval and just waiting to see the surgeon and get a date. They sure moved fast for you, I'm jealous :):) Did you have to take the Options classes?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
