I hope they dont make you do the psych visit now.
Did they say you have anything else to do like blood work? I hope not and you are all set to go.

When I had my hysterectomy the doctor brought me sugar free gum to help with the gas. It was really bad and they dont let you go home until you pass gas. Just a suggestion if you want to try or can even get some.

I’m going through Kaiser South Bay with dr Kim.
I am scheduled for the 24th and she will call me back to figure out the other dates for pre op appointments. I have to do one in person meeting with him (pre op) then another phone visit with a nurse prior to surgery (plus I’m sure covid testing as well).

im so excited!!!!! It’s finally happening!!!!

I just called and Ontario still has not opened up Bariatric surgery. The waiting game is killing me.

        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!!

      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!!
