Not a single soul!? LOL

Guess I’m just an April Lone Ranger.

April 23 revision from the sleeve to gastric bypass and I'm scared out of my mind but I look forward to being free of the Gerds.

Soft foods, yum. I will get there tomorrow.

If you don't mind me asking, which procedure did you have in 2004?

I don’t mind at all. I had RNY in 2004. Lost 130 lbs. My weight started to creep back up 5 years later and I could tolerate sweets. It’s been a long road to find out what was wrong and a surgeon who was willing to fix it. So glad to be back with a fully functioning RNY.

Sleeved April 3rd. Height 5.5, SW 242.5, CW 229, GW 140
For those who are post op, how was it for you? How are you feeling? How much have you lost?
I feel fine, just a bit dizzy in the morning, take my Vitamins, Water, Protein Shake and heparin.
A bit disappointed because I feel like I have not lost much, but then hey, it’s a journey and this just the beginning!

My surgery is with Dr. Dong. I am on 3rd day liver diet, feeling light headed but I have stuck to the plan so far. The support group I go to is the one held every 1st or 2nd Monday of the month. If you are seeing Debra on Tuesday you can ask her for the information.

Don't worry everything will be fine.

I am having the sleeve. On my first appointment my weight was 260 with a BMI 42. I am now down to 253 hoping to loose at least another 10lbs before surgery day.

      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!!
