Thanks, I have to check it at 11:20am, and the surgery will be approx 2 hours from then, but it could be sooner or alittle bit later. I hate late check ins. I am trying to keep positive thoughts. I am so nervous about the surgery and now getting sick don't make it no better. I have alot of confidence in my dr so I know it will go ok and be ok.

Hey everyone

I just got banded on June 12th!!!! Everything went well. Just a lot of gas but walking works.. So everyone walk, walk, walk! Anyone who is getting it done dont be nervous! Its a cake walk, just do what they say, and try to get a night stay in the hosp so they can control your pain meds. I cant wait for the results!

Good luck..

Jenna

Updegraff, thanks. I am so excited right now, but also so nervous. I am worried about the dr sending me home with a rescheduled surgery for being sick. Yuk. I feel like I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for time to pass to leave. Lol.

      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!!
