Good luck on your surgery and check back with us when you are on the other side. Remember after surgery to Walk, Walk, Walk. It will help to alleviate the gas pain. Also make sure they install a trapeze bar above your hospital bed which will help you get up out of bed with less pain after surgery and allow you to Walk, Walk, Walk.

Johns Hopkins, Mister, you do not just fool around, do you? Out west Everything's Up to Date,in Kansas City, could be true but more important Everything is Cutting Edge and At the Fore Front in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins. Worldwide a Johns Hopkins diploma and degree are respected, what nobody knew before, JH retained the best of the best and they will be performing my friend SAU's Surgery! Prayers🙏 and Good Wishes flying your Way!

I’ll be honest, I had feelings of regret the first two days. I’m less than a week out but really happy with my decision. Good luck and let us know how you go!

Thanks to all for the support....I’m definitely not worried about the hospital or the surgery, I’m more worried about life afterwards....but,I know what it holds for me if I continue on the current path...insulin..heart bypass...new knees....terrible sleep apnea.....

I am the day after you. Good luck!

In my research it seems as feelings of regret are quite common in the first month as the post op can be quite difficult for some but after that its seems like 99% of people are quite happy they did and wish they did it sooner.

      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!!
