I just went into pre-surgery review today. My doctor's office thinks once I receive insurance approval surgery will be in early to mid-May.

And I hope to be joining you there! By the end of April[emoji414],I hope to know when, can't be too soon for me. My weight loss story started in August 2015, many hairpin turns[emoji420], an attempted derailment by the sons of Seabiscuit the [emoji237] at previous bariatric program, a Center of Excellence no less (gagging sound) but I am now in better program where I should have first gone and my hopes are tree-top high[emoji267]this time! I can and shall succeed and receive the RnY I have been seeking for so long. I am a 72 year old stubborn redhead,[emoji35] and I should not be thwarted, World-[emoji290]- be ye warned!!![emoji95][emoji12]

I think my date will be mid to late May. My last weigh in will be on 5/2 and they said it takes week then the wiorgery is scheduled two weeks after that. Still not 100% sure if I am having VSG or bypass. I have a follow-up visit with my sturgeon on 4/16 to find out - depends on the results of my endocscopy.

SO NERVOUS and EXCITED!! Good luck everyone!

      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!!
