Hi,

I’m new here.

I’m having my surgery at the beginning of may in Montreal.

Anyone else on the same time frame?

We're close! Did you get insurance approval letter or did you pick a date then submit to insurance?

I'm looking at the last week of May, though I may have to push it back a week or two. My wife is having a knee replacement done on May 4th, so I'd like to wait until she's at least semi-mobile and no longer in constant agony. Fortunately both our kids are college age and will be able to take care of us. Neither kid drives though so my daughter will take me to and from the surgery in an Uber, and if we need groceries and such while I'm recovering, we'll have them delivered.

I picked May 30th than they sent insurance in than I got approved and went back to drs to get it changed sooner all they had was may14 so chose that instead of 30th. My drs suck and the lady was like they not going to approve it bc my 6 month weigh in was at primary drs but they approved it

      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!!
