I just had my lap band removed and I am hoping to have the gastric bypass done by the end of the year! This is a new bariatric hospital for me, and the entire team appears to work well together. It is not a matter of checking off seeing this specialist or that specialist. It is about making sure I am ready and fully committed to succeeding.

I have read a few posts already, and this feels like a good community to be real with me as long as i am real!

Curious you why didn't revise in the same surgery?

I developed acid reflux real bad after having the stomach flu. And now I have barits esophagus. Sorry about spelling on that.

Or are you asking why I did not have bypass when removing the band? If that is the case, it is because the doctor requires the healing time for the stomach. And also the insurance requirements, mandate a 6 month doctor visits and working with nutritionists.

      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!!
