pinky lee 1 Posted May 25, 2011 Omg...I was a wreck prior to surgery, almost cried even though I knew I was doing the right thing....it's just the thought of voluntarily going under, I was definitely a big weenie. I have never had a broken bone or any type of surgery, so it was a big step for me. But I truly believe that is what we are all here for, we are all taking that big step. or have taken it. It's over before you know it though, and I came home today with my stomach staples looking like a lil mini Frankenstein down there, but it is all good, they will be removed in one week and from what I understand, you won't be able to see them before long. All in all things went well I feel ok, just really tired which is to be expected and really sore which is to expected as well. Get to take a shower tonight , which Im excited about! My surgeon and P.A. stated that my stomach and intestines had large fat deposits around them and that it would probably cause me to have more fills to get to my sweet spot because as I lose that fat, it would loosen more and the restriction would go away, so I would need another fill possiblly sooner. Apparently is was a rather large fat deposit around some of my organs so my P.A. looked at me and stated, well this just confirms that you have done the right thing with this surgery.....WOW....what a statement. And she was right, I knew anyway, but what a confirmation from someone that was in the OR and seen what your organs look like. Anyway, I just wanted to give some quick shout outs to everyone for some quick updates on how everything went. I will keep everyone updated!! Carpe Diem!! 1 NewStart95987 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
