I went in in August for a sleeve, but when the Dr got in there he found a massive haital hernia. 1/3 of my stomach was sucked into my chest. He fixed that and I started the waiting game, again... just got my new date! December 14th. I'm so ready. I started this journey in July 2021. Anyway, what a way to close 2022!

Oh man, getting that hiatal hernia fixed must have felt amazing though, too!! Way to go on getting a new surgery date, rock on!

Aww. I have a hiatal hernia as well that my surgeon will fix whenever I finally get a surgery date. I hope this is the last for you.

Well, December 14th was a bust. Got to the hospital,(1 hour 15 minutes away) got in the hospital gown, waited til surgery time, and THEN the hospital told the Dr that there were no beds! He was as upset as I was. So home again I went....... now I don't know when it will be. [emoji20]

I kept getting pushed back too. You must be feeling so disappointed after doing all that prep work too! Just think of when you do get the surgery you lock out all the weight you have already lost. The surgery as a lock sustained me through many bumps in the road. You’ll get there. Have a proper cry then Keep loosing weight to beat that lock out and make the loss more sustainable. You got this. Covid/RSV/ flu can’t beat you!

I'm so happy, I just had to share and you were so kind. I decided to put my sister first, I missed her double hip replacements this summer and her husband's funeral all because my surgery was scheduled. Well this is her first holidays alone. My son is taking me to see her and he and his kids will stay a few days. Then on the 15th he'll come pick me up. I was on the phone telling my sister that and that it was about time she came first. At the same time the Dr's office called. Surgery is on for February 1st!!!! Everything is coming together perfect!

That’s interesting because my hernia got fixed during my sleeve surgery. In fact that was the whole reason I went through the sleeve surgery in the first place, I didn’t know I could just get the hernia surgery by itself. My post nasal drip from GERD is almost nonexistent now.
