I always wear sweater sets so I can hide the fact that I don't have on a seatbelt. Of 5-6 plane trips, I've only been busted once!

SNT-you are such a rebel!! LOL, I do the same thing.:biggrin:

It was only about 6 weeks ago that I decided to have a consult to get banded. I waited a few weeks and dropped $150 and then found out that insurance is a no go....so then I did more research and found Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver and made another consult appt and scheduled my surgery. Now I have less than a month to go. Part of me (a big part..pardon the pun) is afraid that this won't work. That part of me is almost afraid to get too excited.

The other part of me can't believe that I am getting ready to start this VERY IMPORTANT step into the rest of my life.

I want to start singing......I'M SO EXCITED.....AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT.....

Annecolorgreen thank you sooooo much for getting all of the dates together!! I think you & I used to be on the sbd forum together years ago - anyway, your style in keeping things together, etc. is so familiar.

Julie.ann--that's so funny...I can just see you! :cursing:

NFaith--did you keep your user name on this board or was it different on SBD? Mine is the same. That would be cool to "know" you!

My husband is in Florida and I've had very little sleep due to my job, so I wanted to go ahead and mention that I hope everyone from today is doing well in your recovery and send best wishes and prayers to:

October 2-Vidahlia; NEWLIFE4BEV; mrsrdh; mamac; kdraves; emialiabri; markfarnsworth; Bratty_Nicole

ENJOY the first day of the rest of your life!

Hello Annecolorgreen, I think I might have been Rickysmom on sbd or I was Infaith8? Something like that... but it was very nice being on there and all of the friendships that were developed!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        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!!
