Just take it one day at a time. Don't worry about goals yet. When you're ready to set a goal, you will. Good luck with the surgery, I'll be pulling for you. I'm having mine on the 4th of December!

I feel like my program is a little backwards. I’ve had all the pre-op testing, and it all just got submitted to insurance for approval. Haven’t met with a surgeon yet, and don’t have a date, but I’m really hoping to have it (VSG) before December 31 as I’ve met all my insurance deductibles for the year.

Mine is Dec 4. In UK so on the NHS. Don’t know if Bypass or Sleeve As have serious adhesions. Surgeon has said he will try Bypass but may have to be Sleeve. I will be grateful for either. Mine will be open surgery not keyhole.

I have a tentative date of December 6. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I have seen a lot of people speaking of their pre-op visit with the hospital. I have not done that. My Dr has not mentioned it to me. Is that pretty standard for this surgery? Do I need to be concerned?

      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!!
