Cramerk Dr. Ortiz is doing my surgery too. I am leaving on the 24th and will have it done on the 25th. I will let you know how it goes. Are you going back for the first fill or are you using a fill center? Is anyone else having their surgery with Dr. Ortiz around the 25th. Maybe we can get together down there.

Kimmiev3.. I haven't decided on whether to go back to Ortiz or not, but I am open to it if you wanted to partner up. I am traveling on my own and would love to find a travel buddy. Also, please let me know how it goes, I am starting to get nervous. Although after my first day on the P/O diet, I am starting to look at my dog's bones and drool. We won't talk about the caffeine withdrawl.

Good luck to you all.

wow, there are alot of us getting our surgery tomorrow.

I don't know about all of you but I am a little scared, excited but scared. My goodness it seems like it took for ever for this date to get here but at the same time I can't believe it's already here. I really want this for myself and am deffinetly pumped up for tomorrow, but am a little worried about the pain.

Well here's to our new lives beginning tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.

You feel like I do except I am not worried about the pain; I am more worried about making sure I get through all 5 stages of drinking and eating. I just don't want to do something wrong and I hope I am not hungry like I have been sometimes on this preop liquid diet and Jello. You are the first one I have found that is being banded tomorrow.

I have added you to my friend list so we can keep in touch easier after the surgery. Good luck tomorrow. Mine is at 11:30; what time is yours? Are you coming home the same day or are you staying over? I am not sure yet. Going to wait and see how I feel.

      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!!
