I'm pre-op. I have another long couple of months to go with my nutritionist and nurse. I still need my psych eval, which I'm having a hard time setting up, and then need an ultrasound on my stomach. I know in my head that it will go by fast, but right at the moment, I feel like it is drrraaaaggggginnng.

yes it does seem slow but once you start rolling those appointments out time will move. ok just move on to the ultrasound and come back to the psych eval. nothing you can do about t he nutrition visits then can only be once a month but just keep doing stuff and stay on this forum and start eating good by cutting carbs and sugar now...

It totally doesn’t seem like time goes quick and then boom, here I am, 12 days to go. There is so much to do, learn, etc. I often felt time went too slow and now that it’s upon me, it’s going fast. That’s my nerves talking. Sometimes I wish it was faster, because there is all this time to be in your head and obsess. But it’s also good to learn and get all those tests and be as safe as you can. 3rd day liquid diet. It’s not easy, but I know it’s worth it. Already lost another 6 lbs in the first 3 days of liquid. Good luck 🍀 ☺️

      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!!
