Hello everyone! I just had roux en y gastric bypass done yesterday and, when researching support groups, found out about you all! I am looking forward to exploring the threads, learning about all of your journeys, and gaining some insight into what is to come.

A little about me: I'm 32, a mom to an almost 10 year old girl, and I have struggled with multiple chronic health issues for the better part of a decade. Medications for these problems added a bunch of my weight, and some unhealthy choices added the rest. My goals are to lose about 90-100 pounds, lower my cholesterol and triglycerides, and heal from some really bad GERD. I'm excited and ready to make it all happen!

Mostly good! But I still have a nerve blocker that's working on me so fingers crossed I *stay* feeling good, haha. And thank you!

Thank you! It went really well! Nausea was bad the first day but everything else has been manageable. Which procedure are you prepping for?

Ah yeah, I can imagine that wait time is frustrating!! My fingers and toes are crossed that the time passes quickly and you get your surgery date soon! [emoji4]

Congrats and welcome. I am fairly certain I will have a RNY as I have a hiatal hernia that must be repaired.
You are almost 2 months out from your bypass, right? How are you feeling?
I’m hoping for 4/11 surgery date.

      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!!
