Hi MeaganMB! I'm in Louisville. Just got on here today. Went to the weight loss seminar last night and turned in my paperwork to start the process! Where are you in the process?

How exciting! I have made it through nearly 8 steps so far. Luckily, as of 2 days ago ALL of my info (letters, test results, labs, evaluations etc) have been submitted to my insurance company and I am waiting for my final approval. Once I get that, I will have my surgery date! If you don’t mind me asking, which seminar did you attend?

I’m about 30 from Louisville! Dr Oldham did my surgery at Baptist East, him and his staff are amazing!

I’m going through Norton. You should message me on here! I’d love to talk with you some more. It’s nice to know someone else that is on the same journey as me.

Have you gotten your approval yet?!

I now live in Europe, but I used to live right across the river near New Albany, Indiana, if you're familiar? Used to go to Louisville all the time to see friends and such (especially Bardstown Rd.) :)

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
