Coming Up On 4 Weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

OMG!!! I can't belive I actually have a sleeve. I feel very well. Just a little soreness around my main incision over my navel. BM's regular now although the diahrrea was starting to tire me out...mostly from having to do so much laundry!!!

I am 26 days post op and down 25 post op lbs. for a total weight loss of 65lbs. I am thrilled. I feel great. Getting some exercise in, mostly in the pool and elliptical machine because it's still so darned hot here with heat advisories so I really haven't been able to really get out and walk the neighborhood.

People are noticing the weight loss. I went to a client site on Friday and my client said 'Wow, you're skinny!". I said not yet, but I am on my way. :lol0::thumbup::001_rolleyes:

My parents are coming to AZ next month. Haven't seen them since Feb. so they will be shocked to see the total. My dad doesn't know about the surgery. My mom does because she paid for it. I know they will be thrilled as the whole family is diabetic and I was on my way there with my weight being so high.

My son and his family were here on Sunday and I hadn't seen him in a few months (he has a wicked work schedule). He was excited for me. I still didn't tell them about the surgery. But they could see I was eating a whole lot less.

I am wearing some clothes I haven't been able to put on for a long time. About 5 years. Luckily they're not out of style. :laugh0:

I have 16 more lbs to get to Twoderville!!! That will be a major milestone for me. :thumbup: I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait!!!!

CONGRATS. That is so cool when family hasn't seen you awhile and don't know about surgery can comment about your weight loss. Keep up the excellent work. That's awesome.:001_rolleyes:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
