I'm going to start the pre-op 2morrow. I am very nervous it's coming down to the wire. I have been looking at clothes and forming a wish list for closthes I want whenever I wanna snack. No more food for awhile ... LOL since I will only be on liquids after surgery. I need help I'm scared and I want to know how you all survived your pre-op. I need a smuch support as I can get ... my family is supportive but they kinda don't care ... they just think it's my "lastest diet" that I'm trying LOL since they are so used to me being on some type of diet anyway and never following through with it. But what they don't know is how discouraged I used to get when I would not see results and work my ass off. But I am determined to make this band work I will show their asses (i hope) I still have that thought in the back of my mind now that I will fail this. Cause of all the other times that I have failed. Now since everything is set in stone and I signed all the paper work yesterday. I don't know how to feel. I hope I don't die. And all the scary complication stories here. Just need some help anyone out there :) Thanks for letting me share! Apples!

      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!!
