Going in for a gastric sleeve on the 14th at 10am. I have been waiting for the hospital to call and cancel because of Covid, but they just called to confirm, instead. We'll see if it sticks! 🤞

My Surgery date is Dec 2nd for the sleeve. I wanted the Sleeve w the duodenal switch, but the nurse misunderstood and scheduled the sleeve. What should I do? Will I lose enough w the sleeve and get off my meds?

Can you have them change it?

Got my insurance approval! Now I’m just waiting for my pre-op appointment. I’m starting liquid diet Saturday instead (I was going to start Monday!). I’d just rather be already going good before my pre-op appointment!

I’ve been so amazed by my post op experience this time around. My sleeve to bypass conversion was on the 7th December (originally was going to be a few days earlier but got postponed slightly). This time around I have had very little pain, only slight gas pain, and since coming home 2 days ago I’ve had a lot of energy. So very thankful for such an easy recovery (so far). Wishing everyone else here a speedy recovery / and good luck for upcoming surgeries!!

I’m going on the 14th as well. Our governor just put a bunch of restrictions back in place but luckily nothing to do with hospitals. So I am praying I get my call tomorrow after 2 like they said I would.

      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!!
