Everyone: What was your turning point in your life that made you decide the wls route?
BDME replied to xoxococojay's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I work in fashion and as much as this might be the most shallow reason why. I hated not being able to wear the things I was constantly around. I was and am a confident girl. I had pre diabetes and high cholesterol but no other ailments to think of. Then I was diagnosed with PCOS which answered the question why I would work out and diet and not be able to loose any substantial weight. So while driving I heard a commercial about lab band. I inquired, went to the consultation and the dr decided I was better off with the sleeve. I did not end up using that doctor because of insurance but I was blessed with an amazing doctor who is at the top of his field at the best hospital in New York. I was taken care of immaculately. Everything went so smooth and I couldn’t be happier 3 days post op -

Thanks fo asking. I actually feel really well. My experience I heard was not typical. I haven’t thrown up at all. From the procedure or anesthesia. I insisted on getting up and waking to the bathroom a couple hours post op. I couldn’t really sleep after being brought up to my room so I did a couple laps around my hospital floor around midnight, and then again at 4am. The nurses kept laughing at me like why are you up? But I was so restless and to be honestly deathly afraid of blood clots so I would rather be moving around. I was discharged 1pm the next day. Today I’ve been resting a lot and trying different methods to get rid of some of this gas. I took a shower and removed my bandages as instructed and that went fine. I just have noticed I have no energy. I took a 3 hour nap after just taking a shower. Lol Who was your doctor?

3 days post! Got down 6 tablespoons of soup today! Never thought I’d be so proud. -
I left the hospital with a liquid stool softener. I had my first Bm today. It was small, but painless. And I’ve only consumed the softener once. I was sleeved on Friday and had a BM on Friday right before the surgery. Hope this helps!
