I’ve been trying to figure out how to “reply” and no success lol! So @Frustr8 , my Surgery will be at Mount Carmel West with Dr. Marcus Miller through Central Ohio Surgical Associates.

My highest weight is about 330 at the end of May. I lost 15 in June so I wouldn’t have to extend my weigh ins. Right now I’m at 310 but I hope to hit 299 by the day of surgery. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last year and my glucose is normal , not sure how though. Thank you ! I hope things go well for you as well!

Hmmn Better you than me! Marcus Miller and I go way back and not all of it good. But different strokes, different folks, I hope he does do good by you. And the rest perhaps the better not said. I will be praying for you that things go well.

I just rescheduled my surgery date to 9/13.. changed it cus I was going to be on my monthly and opted to not deal with that at the same time!

Mine got rescheduled for the 13th as well! Originally I was 9/5, but I had to have oral surgery and that was cutting it too short to heal completely for intubation with VSG surgery.

That is awesome! Do you have to do a pre op diet? I hope all goes well for you with the VSG but also with the dental!

Yes, I have to do a 2 week pre-op diet, but I started it early. Mine allows Protein Shakes and 4 oz of lean meat and vegetables for dinner. My calorie cap is 1200.

Lucky both of you! Mine is a full liquid diet with 90 g of Protein. broth, strained cream of Soups, power aid zero, sf popsicles, sf Jello, Water and crystal light. But I guess that is why the said for us NOT to start it any sooner than the date given to us by the surgeon.

      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!!
