Quotes/Stories/Ideas/Inspiration? Making a gift!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My mother is going to have her surgery on Monday the 28th - I am planning to give her something nice since it is shortly after Christmas, and because I know this can be hard to go through.

My idea was to gather some quotes/stories/ideas/inspiration/encouragement and write them in little envelopes - one to open each day of the month after her surgery. I was hoping some people might want to share their story in short form that I could quote on these envelopes. Or if you have any quotes, encouragement, or funny uplifting stories related to getting the surgery I would love to hear them!

I hope this will also help other people who are thinking about the surgery or are nervous about an upcoming surgery. Thank you so much in advance, and happy holidays!

      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.
