Return to Work after Surgery
NYJenn replied to JerseyNJ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
8 weeks, but I’m a teacher and it was summer -
I saw way too many revisions from sleeve to bypass. I would never choose a sleeve

I heard it’s safer then a hip replacement. So you’re good

I had my surgery in the US, but I didn’t have my kids come visit anyway. I was tired, in pain, and grouchy. I wasn’t in the mood for visitors, especially little kids. Dad should stay home with the kids and you go alone, honestly you need the time to heal.

A few times per year I have migraines so severe that they require injections of meds to get them under control. Those meds do include a nsaid. Surgeon said it’s fine

I found myself avoiding things ...people, situations, activities. I didn’t go on rollercoasters, didn’t go swimming, ate alone in my car. It was a miserable existence and I hated myself for what I had done to my body. My doc suggested it and I have never looked back

Weight gain during 6 month requirement
NYJenn replied to ClarkRomulus's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If I had canceled an appt it would have been a my least a month before they could have gotten be back in. Don’t just assume they will be able to see you a week after. Stop the self sabotage and start following your plan. This is a life style change. Time to change -

Questions for all of you that are post-op!!!
NYJenn replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
1. Swallowing pills doesn’t bother me, so I can’t really speak to that 2. I had 3 visits with the nutritionist, one nutrition class, psych evaluation, ekg, I already had apnea and used cpap, and that was it 3. Your life will be awesome -
One year ago this week I was sitting in my doctors office, weighing nearly 300 lbs, sobbing. I had sleep apnea, severe migraines, and my body hurt. I was only 37 but I felt like I was an old lady. Today, I’m 115 lbs lighter, sleep apnea is gone and I am stronger and more confident then I have been in 15 years

Not satisfied after eating
NYJenn replied to yoshimon's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It’s a compulsion. We have this idea that we need to finish our plate, grab just”one more” plus we have no idea what being satisfied feels like. We ate until we were overstuffed. It’s going to take time to retrain your brain -

Day of,I was dopey and in and out of consciousness. Day after was the worst, I didn’t want my kids to come visit me. I didn’t want them to see me in such pain, I thought it might scare them. By day 2 I was so much better. Just sore and tender
