Recommended Posts

So two weeks from today I fly to Mexicali and two weeks from tomorrow I will be sleeved. Things that I never thought could happen to me are feeling possible.

*I will be healthy enough to have babies

*My knees won't hurt

*I will not be too tired to carry my laundry up the stairs

*I won't be destined to get diabetes

*I won't be angry at Halloween when I can't find a costume to fit

*I won't be the girl with "the pretty face," I can just be the pretty girl.

*I won't need to cringe when its time for takeoff and have to ask for a seatbelt extender.

*I will know that if something goes wrong in a relationship, at work, or in play it will be because of something I did not because of how overweight I am.

*I will be able to walk into a store and know that my lack of cash might prevent me from buying the things I want, but not my booty.

*I will be able to enjoy the things I like to eat, without being obsessed.

*I will be able to have the energy to paddle the boat when I go rafting, rather than just going along for the ride.

*I will be able to finally feel like the outside of me, looks more like how I feel inside.

*When I get married, I will be able to fully give my body to my husband, and not feel ashamed or scared.

I know that this won't fix all life's problems, but life is difficult and painful all in its own and it will be so nice to be able to face those difficulties without 150 extra pounds weighing me down. I'm so excited to get started.

      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.
