Emotions



Recommended Posts

I have been reading this website for a few days and there is great information. I am 42 years old and I weigh 354 pounds. I have never been this heavy. I have been heavy all my life but never this big. I getting the sleeve done on 5/4 with Dr. Whitwell in Miami. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. One moment I am crying and the next the nerves set in. This has been emotion roller coaster the last fews months. I am not a patience person, but finally I am doing something for myself instead of trying to please anyone. This the year of me...I want to get heathly and start a new phrase of my life. My husband is getting the sleeve in July, so this journey is together We made a New Year's resolution to get heathly so we start a new phase of our lives. Well in closing I am really enjoying this forum and I wish everyone on this site the best of the luck in their journeys and I hope to meet people who are going through this also.

I am getting sleeved May 23. I know what you mean about being emotional. But I am now at the stage of feeling relieved that I am doing something. I can't wait. I hear ya on doing something for me finally. I have 3 kids and yes I am doing this for me...but also for them too.

I hear we won't be sorry we did it. lol Good luck to you and your husband. It helps to have support from someone going through it to. My husband agreed to letting me do it, but he's not a big supporter of the surgery. That's why I am so glad to have this forum.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
