Maybe I missed something somewhere but if you're at permanent goal, why are you having the revision?

medically necessary, not weight loss

Here in Tijuana, surgery in about 3 hours...and unlike@amaynard, I don't get to drink until tomorrow! Just found that out yesterday. I'll be on a drip for hydration, but no drinking.

I also went to a dentist here because the last two I saw at home tried to hard-sell me $5500 worth of work I didn't need. Going back on Friday for the work... at least it'll be easy to not eat afterwards, lol.

Ugh! I can't wait for my surgery now! I just got a candid picture of me that was taken yesterday and omgosh! I am a delusional fatty that still think's I'm skinny! lolololol I swear when I look in the mirror I don't see the weight at all, but when I see myself in pictures I'm like omgoodnesssss! Is that really me?!?! It makes me feel ashamed of myself and want to hide inside.

I felt the same way! I actually did isolate myself from the world ( and still kinda as) for a moment. Im slowly breaking out since I know the surgery is on the horizon, I feel more hopeful for the future and a tad bit less ashamed. Pictures are a no go for me though. Not until this surgery is done. Keep your head up & stay positive grlie! You got this!!!

As hard as it might be, you have to take pictures. There will be days/weeks when you don’t lose, or you wonder if your surgery was worth it, or you’re just mad that you can’t eat cake 🤣 Having these pictures help soooooo much

I had my surgery yesterday 7/1 and I’m doing a lot better today. Yesterday I had horrendous gas pains in my upper shoulders and hurt to breathe a little. I had to get a hiatal hernia repaired that they found during surgery so I’m also sore from that. But all together I think I’m progressing pretty good. I had RNY.

        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!!

      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!!
