Hi all. I've been around here for about 8 months reading and posting here and there. I've done everything needed aside from pre op testing. Waiting on sleep study results. From reading my Aetna coverage- if I'm understanding it correctly- I will be covered 100% but be responsible for $150 a night at hospital . I'm so upset that I haven't lost anything during this pre op time. Ok 5 lbs. I keep asking the dr office for a tentative date. Apparently I'll get one once I meet with the surgeon again. I've read so much on here. I would like to think I'm ready but still nervous. I know it's normal. I've had one surgery in my life. Gallbladder removal. I hope it's like that. Painful at incisions but that's it. I've been enjoying everyone's stories and successes and I can't wait to be on the other side.

Waiting is so frustrating, especially when all you want is to know WHEN it's going to happen! Hopefully it's this year or very early next year! When is your appointment with your doctor?

You can do all the reading in the world and still be nervous! it's major surgery, and being a little scared is completely normal. I journaled for the month or two prior and it really helped me work through it! ❤️ keep us updated!

I'm going to my last dietitian and therapy session today. It's been a 6 month process for me. My weight has fluctuated the 6 month bc it's just been a trial and error of finding out what I need to do to be proactive in my weight loss journey. Congratulations on getting this far! You're almost there!

I go see the surgeon again in 12/10. By then I assume my sleep study results will be in and I can get a date. I think st this point I may want to wait until early January as with everyone's vacation schedule it might be hard to get in before

Oh No! I don't envy your pre op diet. My Dr only requires 1-2 days. Good luck on your surgery. Keep us updated!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
