I have been on this journey since September 2017. I was completing all my classes and visits, but got off track, I think it was self-sabotage from fear, with my weight. My starting weight was 296 and I was down to 284 when I met my surgeon and he set a goal weight of 278.

For Kaiser in Northern California you just have to reach the goal weight, psych eval, and attend the classes they have. You can go as fast as you want as long as you make weight. I finally hit 277 and got my psych appointment but weighed in 278.8 the day of and had to wait until I got under 278 to move forward. At that point I changed it up and pushed through and got to 274 and was able to schedule my blood work. Today I did my one on one with the RN and my weight was 271.4! I met with her with my Vitamins and food journal and she gave me a surgery date of 4/18/18!!!!! I had to have another appointment with the surgeon and she “forced” me in right after our appointment.

I could have gone to surgery sooner but I have to go to a pre-op class that’s only on Wednesday’s so I have to wait until 4/11/18 for that.

I’m super excited! Anybody else excited for April surgery dates?

      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!!
