Yes, I’m worried about the same thing too. I have to remind myself that WLS is a strong tool. I’m having RNY and it will correct the hiatal hernia and GERD. The only way to get better is to go through.

Me too. Hiatal hernia and GERD/Barrett's. So it's RNY for me also!

I am scheduled for the 12th of August. I am excited.

Hello how are you doing I’m August 12th and I can’t wait

August 12th here

August 6th! I’m so excited! I’ve been on this journey since 2018!!!

Anybody else getting cold feet?

I was not loosing weight anymore on the pre-op plan because I was thinking about how loosing all this weight is making me go through peri-menopause again. (I had it bad with arthritis aches, sweating, migraines, and moodiness.). I was thinking that I’m paying and working hard to go through it again.

Then I had an asthma attack and couldn’t sleep for three nights in a row. Finally my epiphany happened and I remembered that the terrible asthma is why I want to be healthy. The pre-op plan reduces inflammation and helps keep asthma away! Peri-menopause is temporarily, I want to see my son grow up. I’m back on track.

What is keeping you on track?

I had spine surgery in March. I’m still getting shooting pain down my leg. I gotta get this wait off my discs!

I have a 1 year old who needs and active mom and a 10 year old who needs a good role model! I’m stoked! August 6th can’t come soon enough!

Assuming all goes right with insurance, I am 8/30....excited and a teeny bit nervous.

So today is my last day of the “old” me. I’m starting the shakes part of the journey tomorrow. No turning back! ?

Judi777….How is pre op going for you?

Preop is going well. It has a definite end date so it’s in sight! One and a bit weeks in, 2 and a bit to go. I am ever so slightly hungry but a drink of water helps. If that’s not working, I have a bag of carrots on my desk that I munch on. 6 kg down so far

Just got my date today! August 23rd!! So excited to be joining you all! How is everyone feeling??

My date actually moved up a week so now I’m Aug 23!

My date for surgery is August 24 and Iam scared out of my mind. Pre op is going well though I'm down 15lbs in about a month give or take

Wow! I've been on my journey since February 2021. I'm so glad I now I have a date. I was denied by my insurance after 5 months of pre-op appointments so I'll be going to Mexico.

I am going to have mine done in Mexico too on Aug 21st. I am super nervous as I am going alone.

I will be starting my liver shrink diet in a few days. I am excited and freaking out at the same time! I keep thinking of foods that I need to eat because I won’t be eating them anymore after the surgery. I have to keep bringing myself back to focusing on getting healthy rather than the food. I am both ready and nervous!
