I just received my date today. I am having surgery May 6th too! The count down begins. I like the shrinko de mayo's as well, and I have given some thought to names as well and had thought about may flowers or daisy Mays, May Maidens, Mighty Mays, May Masterpieces, May minimizers, may mini me's but I agree that the men might not like some of those names. Just some thoughts, I would like to hear what others May come up with.

Oh wow!!! May 6 bandsters on the loose!!! Woot!!! I just got the paper work today for my pre-surg work-up with anesthesiologist and pre-surg check-in with my surgeon on April 28.

I am doing a mostly "pre-op" strictness of diet, since I gained a few pounds since last visit with Surgeon, and he would not be happy to see me gained when I see him on the 28th... And then in two weeks, I start the for real strict pre-op diet as prescribed. At least I was on it, and strict, for a whole two weeks, so know that I can get through that part!

I feel better to have some more May bandsters get their dates!

I like mayo BANDitos too! Shrinko De Mayo is a classic... How about... MiniMAYzers???

      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!

      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!!
