And I have a form of pre-op class on Friday , I meet with my anesthesiologist on Friday, one,of the things I must bring up is the fact,i am allergic to hibaclenz,find out if there is an,option or if I am going to be painted with a layer of Betadine from stem to stern.
Every other surgery I ever had , I met the anesthesia guy or gal just before I was put to sleep. Oh well, every doctor, every hospital has their own way of doing things, I either can argue,or go with the flow. Think I'll do the latter. Good luck tomorrow with your classes.

Thank you Frustr8! Good luck to you on Friday! On my paperwork it actually says that the anesthesiologist might want to meet before but I haven’t heard from them yet so we’ll see.... I hope there is something else that they can use for you!

it looks like we three are in Charlotte🌸, Philadelphia🌺 and I live in a city called Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE of Columbus Ohio🍄 where I will have my 😷surgery. Good Luck to us all and may we have smooth swift healings🍀. In fact I wish that for all the people on here!😛👍🌈

I’m projected to have surgery in September also... but I haven’t scheduled yet. My last nutritionist visit is this week and then I think I can schedule. Im a little weirded out because my surgeon does not require any type of Pre op liquid diet that I see is so common.

      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!!
