So new update.
I got a call from Boston medical center clinical evaluation is April 3rd. I have completed all my requirements thus far. And made my surgical goal weight. I am slightly higher right now. But I'm hovering on the mark they wanted. So fingers crossed looking at end of April or mid May . Just have to wait for my insurance to approve.

On the road again- just can't wait to get on the road again, sorry Willy Nelson but I do like your lyrics a lot. So the,path from Haverhill to Boston has suddenly got smoother! Great great great. That's only a little over a week, excitingly good news. Are you getting ready emotionally and physically for it all? Gosh I am happy for you but so so envious. I know my day will come also but
I want it NOW! [emoji20]

Patience grasshopper. My journey didn't come without bumps, landmines and sinkholes.
I tore my planter facia from my foot, I had Achilles tendon issues. I was depressed. The 1program I was in at holy family in Methuen was aweful. The " nutritionist" would tell me to try something. I'd do it. Then say oh don't do that.

Ooh I am going to stay the course, friends like you help me to stay on track. I'm sitting here taking a hit off my nebulizer. Promised. PCP I. would use it more faithfully. My son said I looked like a jet pilot when I started with my Cpap, you can imagine his remarks when,i sit here with flexible plastic tubing and a mouthpiece clenched between my teeth. He inherited my dry wit, alas. 1st time he saw it he said "Hmmm are we going scuba diving or snorkeling ?" Now he just walks by and shakes his head.. I guess it does help some, hope he doesn't submit a picture of me like this or the C Pap to B.P.for comic relief. I just hang on for the sake of hanging on some days, but we all have those at times. Someday I will look all fit and thin and submit an after pix. Doubt if I'll ever submit a before because I find it depresses me. I don't have enough self love or confidence to show the world at large my exterior. I'm not ugly enough to stop a grandfather clock but I have made a few alarm clocks stop ticking. But the new improved frust8 with a little work and,my future tool, I can maybe look GOOD. Bottom line I will feel better about myself.

Hi! I am also a Bostonian, though I am going through Mt. Auburn. I hope they can get you in soon! That’s terrible that it got canceled! At least most of the snow is gone and we BETTER not get anymore. I’m officially over winter!

I wish you the absolute best tomorrow! I got a bit nervous for you when they said there was snow in the forecast... luckily it all melted immediately :)

      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!!
