Best of luck to you @insta_adventurer Don't let your nerves get the best of you. It will be the fine. There will be pain after so don't wait to ask for pain meds. I waited because I was sleeping/out of it after and then suddenly it hit me and I wanted to strangle the nurse for taking 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to me and get them into my IV. (Not sure how long it took, but I swear it was at least 10 minutes). Take your time there is no need to rush the walking. I waited until the day after surgery late in the day to walk the halls. I did walk from the bed to the rest room but that was hard enough the 1st few hours.




GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!


Thank you! My first words when I wake up will be, “‘more drugs, please!”

Hey ladies - I’ve been absent a few days and way behind. My dad’s health has deteriorated and he’s been put in hospice. Just spending all the time I can with him and supporting my mom.

I’ll try and check in as I can.

We will be thinking of you. My condolences to your family

Surgery is tomorrow 7-18 at noon. Trying to fall asleep. Excited. Pre-op diet went well except now I know what my emotional eating triggers are... Anger and Depression. I couldn't stuff my face to make those feelings go away. Learned a lot about myself this week.

      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!!
