Yay!!! How did your test go?!

Hey friend! The test went ok! Apparently I don’t have as much of a hiatal hernia as they thought on the endoscopy! We also discovered my reflux meds are doing their work. Haha

I’m scheduled for revision surgery on December 8. I’ve had two failed bands and a sleeve. Going for bypass. I’m nervous and excited.

OK, here we go Surgery Twin!

I have to be at Admitting by 5:30 in the morning. Let's hope everyone has had their coffee and eaten their Wheaties!

Sending you positive energy in case your butterflies are as active as mine!

I have my procedure on Dec 8th. We're not that far off from one another. I'm anxiously rushing to get things done around the house before i'm restricted. It doesn't help that the pre-op diet and finals are all happening at the same time. The more support to have the better. I'm here.

Hi! We're surgery twins, along with GoldenGirl.

As you said, it is nice to have support and know others are in the same boat. I have to be at Admitting at 5:30 in the morning tomorrow for my gastric bypass. However, the bright side is that I won't have that long to get hungry or thirsty. LOL! I am tempted to bring coffee to everyone. I want folks to be wide awake by the time they start cutting.

Wishing you all the best of luck and sending you positive energy. ?

I have surgery for bypass Dec 7th. Scared to death.

Hoping all went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Mine is tomorrow, 12/8, and I so nervous that I may have forgotten something or did not prepare well enough. Not so worried about the surgery, but life thereafter. I just have to trust the process and work the habits.

You'll be fine, I was rather nervous until I had mine, I'm now on day 4 post op, just take each day as it comes, the wind pains are a real thing, there are ways to ease it, I'm still learning as I go on what I can do to ease mine

This is so helpful to hear. I'm tomorrow, 12/8.

I'm having band to RNY revision on December 11th! I am right there with you! Wishing you lots of luck!

Totally with you about the nerves coming in waves. I'm 12/8 and hoping I will sleep tonight.

I’m scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am UGH. I’m quite nervous and am disappointed that my husband can’t be with me while I wait (due to covid)

So I was all prepared and ready to be on my way to the hospital around 8:30am. Doing my final check and my phone rings. It my doctors office calling to postpone my surgery for today. Was told the hospital I was going to if there was an emergency they didn’t have and extra ICU rooms available. I am fasting an extra day and starving. I will hear back from them hopefully first thing in the morning. It’s all in Gods hands.

Hopefully all goes well for everyone else ??

I am so sorry this is happening. You are right, it is all in God's hands. And, really, is there a better place to be? I know, easy for me to say, I'm not living it. However, I believe that all the things I've had to get over and get through has gotten me to the place where I really am ready to commit to a new way of being.

Prayers and positive thoughts heading your way!

I’m having the same surgery on the 17th!!! I’ll be anxiously awaiting your updates!!!

I'm on pins and needles right now hoping and praying it doesn't get cancelled due to COVID. I actually work for the hospital I'm having it at so I can see first hand when they are canceling. So far so good. I will definitely keep you posted on how it goes! SO incredibly ready to get this band out and get me life back!
