Update!!! NOT THE BAND!!!



Recommended Posts

What a terrible and miserable day you have had. I hope both of you can just make it through and not think about the cancer right now, until you know for sure. I do think that docs do the wrong thing in being so casual about mentioning it before they have the facts. My heart is with you and I sure hope you will catch us up as soon as you know something.

Thinking of you and your husband.

Dani

Hi Everyone,

Haven't posted for a few days. Went for my Dr's appt on Tuesday and they put me in the hospital. Pumped me full of antibotics and had a Bronchscopy on Wednesday. Had the greatest Doctors, after looking over the CT and the Bronchscopy they don't think there is any cancer. But we have to wait for the results, but they are all pretty sure that it is pnemonia with an abscess on my lung. Possibly caused by aspiration pnemonia. I will have to be on Antibiotics for long term possibly up to 4 months or longer.

Thank you all for your concerns, sorry I haven't been able to let everyone know how things were going. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers this certainly has been a very trying time. I feel that we have finally found the problem and I am on my way to recovering it is just going to take some time.

I can't thank you all enough for your prayers, I will keep you all posted. (((((((((((Kathy)))))))))))))))

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
