Hi everyone! I’m at the very beginning of this process and I’m so glad I found this support group. I go to my first seminar next week and getting ready to meet with a doctor to start the program. I have been thinking about this surgery for YEARS and I’m ready to now go for it. I’ll be watching and cheering you all on from my side. Good luck and I’m looking forward to the official approval date :)

Not that I’m a veteran by any means but I guess I’ve been here longer than you so I’ll take the opportunity to say welcome! This really is a great community ripe with knowledge and support! Congrats on your decision and well wishes on your journey.

Welcome! Come here often as each time you do you will learn something new, and the more you know before your WLS the better prepared you will be and less fearful and nervous about your surgery. Do you know what type of surgery you want yet?

Hi thanks everyone! Yes, I’m wanting the sleeve currently. Unless something new I learn changes my mind.. that is what I’m seeking.

      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!!
