4 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am four days post op. I am very happy about the decision I made. I am a petite woman- 5 feet tall but I weighed 218 pounds . That was the largest I had ever weighed. I found the first few days alittle tough. The worse thing for me was the bad backaches I had. I suffer from back spasms so after I was placed into recovery, it was bad. A few days after my surgery was the worst. I guess that saying it gets worse before better is true for me. Four days in, I am still sore but I feel good. I got dressed and put makeup on! I went to my friend Alicia"s house and weighed myself and I am down 7 pounds!!!! I can see it in my face! This has been a blessing for me that I cannot take advantage of. I cannot find myself reverting back to those old habits. For the first time in days, my stomach actually growled. It is no where but down for me!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
