I asked about covid-19 testing before surgery and was told it's not done in VA, unless you suspect you've been exposed. I've been social distancing, and wearing a mask, so I have no reason think I've got it, but still was disappointed.

My first covid test felt like it was nothing so I guess she probably did it wrong and my second one felt like someone shoved a stick to my brain, nose felt funny for the rest of the day. I have to do another test on monday...I'm a introvert with ocd and shops online, why must they do this to me!

Hopefully, Monday's test will come back negative. I'm also an introvert, rarely going out, if I can help it. Visiting the Bariatric Clinic feels like socializing.

I had 2... both were in my car. The first lady gave me these instructions: You can either hold on to the steering wheel or sit on your hands... I chose to sit on my hands... Then she said turn to me and tilt your head back and keep looking at the roof. No matter what you do, DON'T GRAB MY HAND. I was so glad i chose to sit on my hands because my first instinct was to grab her hand... hehe.... she took this (what looked like 12") qtip and put it up one side of my nose. It felt like she was coming out my a$$ , then did the other side.... uhgggggg....

Second time in the car also, different medical office, she only did one side and i found much more gentle.

Both test were negative. the first test was because my husband tested positive... so my work required i have one. then another at the end of 2 weeks so i could come back to work.

      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!!
