Topic: Today's the DAY!!!!

Good morning all!!

It's an early one for sure. I'm headed out shortly for surgery. Should be out of surgery around 11am today so keep me in your thoughts and prayers if you think of it.

I'm extremely anxious and nervous this morning but trying really hard not to get into my own head and make myself crazy. I've been working towards this day for a very long time. Looking forward to getting through the next few days of extreme pain and on my way to recovery and meeting goals.

Have a great day.

I just messaged my surgeon even with me taking 300mg of Ranitidine 2x a day it helps for a little while then boom it comes back I can't tolerate a lot of foods. Just tired of it.

I'm so sick to my stomach, I have the GERD and I should've already had the RNY done but I was too scared to have it done, so here I am with it getting worse and I know I need to call the surgeon and schedule the surgery I have to take 1 rintandine 300mg pills 2x a day and the acid reflux just feels ugh. So sick of this I also am scared to have the rny done I know I'm headed that way. It's not about the weight it's getting rid of the acid reflux.

Topic: RE: Update on Band to Bypass Surgery

Oh thank you! I'm full of anxiety and worry right now. I'm due at the hospital at 515am tomorrow so that means I need to be on the road by 345am. Surgery is scheduled for 730am. Should be out of the OR by 11 or so. Praying for smooth sailing throughout the day.

I'll check in at some point.

Thanks again!

The sleeve will inly make your reflux worse.

I had no idea that esophageal problems were common. I just had an upper GI and discovered that the band has already caused some problems in the way my esophagus works. Now, the sleeve isn't looking so good.

Thanks so much for your reply.
