I'm in Illinois, but I'm mostly wondering why your post is tagged with "false"?

IDK but I am sincere wanting to hear from all of you. I am as true blue and honest as the day is long. The first post I made today said error- permission denied, just rebooted my android marsmallow phone and things are moving along from there. I am in Central Ohio, 50 miles NE of Columbus where my RnY will take place. After more stops, starts and lurches than the average jalopy I'm back pressing forward. Was hoping for May, since I have an appointment with case manager, dietician and nurse practitioner on May 24th---,June? maybe July?. Mine is a rare story, I completed another program not once but twice then they refused to,perform my surgery. So after cursing and reviling the sons of Seabiscuit the Horse from this distance where,they couldn't hear what I called them. I picked myself up, patched up my bruised feelings that had been tromped on, and moved on to an alternate program where I should have gone in the 1st place at Ohio State University. Today I feel the sun will still shine on my endeavor, My plans have been justified and I am going forward. Power 👊to me, the Princess of Power and Queen of all I design- ate worthy.😜

      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!!
