My feelings so far............ surgery date 3/7/14
ByeByefatgirl. posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am doing ok. I get frustrated at times because I eat and sometimes food makes my stomach hurt. I guess some food I can't tolerate. Sometimes I don't want to eat at all. Sometimes I get so hungry I feel like I can eat a horse, then when I try I eat so fast and get too full and the comes the slimies and I feel awful. Sometimes I don't feel the fullness until it's too late. Guess I'm still learning my sleeve and how much it can tolerate. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever feel "normal" again. Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't have done it. But the good news us I have lost 30 lbs since surgery 43 in total. i am at 240 now. It's pretty awesome. I didn't have any significant problems after surgery so I am not complaining. I just feel different but thats the point right. Change. I am still learning. -

Ok so I had my surgery with Dr Lopez on friday. I got to the hospital at 7am didn't have surgery until 530. I needed a blood transfusion because of anemia. $200 for 1 pint. The center where they get blood brought the wrong one si back it goes and more waiting. So the put my iv in and a waited n waited the finally its my turn. Dr Lopez came in to talk to me and answer any questions then I spoke to the anesthesiologist. Last thing I remember is her saying im going to give you something to relax and I was out. I woke up with terrible pain in my stomach and having to pee alot. They gave me pain meds immediately and a bed pan. I wet up the bed lol had to change the sheets. The nurse said don't worry it happens all the time, but I didnt feel embarrased. They brought me back ti my room and I had a roomate. One of the gals I came in with so I was happy about that. The nurses took very good care of us very attentive. Folks don't worry about coming to mexico you'll do just fine. -

Hey Fatgirl. I'm in Mesa and would love to join you. Since you're driving where are you parking? This side and walk over? Or buying Mexican insurance and drive across? Hi Susy, I am parking at the airport and the driver for the company will be picking me up and driving me across the border. I'd love the company. When is your surgery? -
Ok, so i paid my deposit today for my upcoming surgery on 3/7/14 with Dr Lopez at MI Doctor. It's getting real folks. OMG I'm really scared but it has to be done. It has to be done. It has to be done. That's what I keep telling myself.
