That's up to you. My sister had wrist surgery when she was on hers and believe me they will work around it.

Me three :smile2: I was in the middle of mine and it was not fun, but I just couldn't wear a tampon during the procedure.

I wouldn't post pone it !! You'll be fine chica :tt2: The damn 'diapers' they make you wear aren't cool, but I don't see any reason to not have your surgery.

Good luck!!!

Thank you all for your comments. That is very reassuring that you say not to postpone it. :crying: Hopefully the stress of surgery will make it be a few days late.

Thanks again.

      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!!
