78 days laterrr.....



Recommended Posts

78 days post-op. yet I still can't even believe that I had the surgery. Doesn't feel real. I have so much going on, but this decision is always on my mind. I am doing well, but I can't help but think about my life without this surgery and what it might be like now. I am almost down 50+ pounds and am really overwhelmed, and excited! I am so blessed to have a family that supports me, but I wish I could just support myself. I feel like every time I get excited about something, the next thing to happen is either bad news, or saddening.

50 pounds is a huge deal! Try to stay positive! And we ALL need support....don't beat yourself up for needing your family. Some people on this board don't have families who support them, so WE have to support them! You are a step ahead for having people in your life who love you and want you to be healthy. Keep up the great work!

Hi Chloe -- congratulations on getting that weight off and remaining positive during difficult times.. Life is not easy sometimes, but what a difference it is to be able to navigate stress with a healthy body to help carry us through. Don't forget to pat yourself on the back and take a lot of deep breaths. Best wishes!

Hi Chloe. I'm just curious. Is your last name Houston or do you live in Houston? If you live in Houston we are meeting at the Galleria this Saturday at 2 p.m. at the food court by the ice rink.

      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.
