I had my first consult yesterday. It went well. It was pretty emotional though. I almost teared up at one point. My surgeon is very stern and I think he expects a lot from his patients but in return will give just as much back.

I see the dietitian Monday and then back to the surgeon next month, and if he's happy with my progress and commitment, he'll move forward with the next steps.

I'm nervous and excited but mostly very determined. I had to back out of surgery three years ago and I'm not missing another opportunity.

hey guys well just wanted to say hello and welcome to the boards i am about 3 months into a 7 month journey i have my 3rd weigh in on Tuesday. all i can say to those just starting this process is it moves at a pace you do not expect like the days can sometimes be long when you think about the process its self but the weeks and months go by so fast. i mean it feels like yesterday that i filled out my new patient paper work and met with the surgeon so yeah so crazy and that was back at the end of February so just keep your eye on the prize and do not be discouraged if you think you are not making progress as fast as you think you need to be or should be. dont compare your journey to anyone else's dont compare your preop program diet what have you to anyone else's every surgeon is wildly different the reason i say this is because at the end of the day the end of the day we all want the same thing weight loss surgery and to be successful in our journey

      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!!
