My Surgery Was/ Is On________, And I Has/will Conquer________



Recommended Posts

I love the word "conquer". It just feels so powerful to me. We all have at least a few things to conquer and I'd love to hear what yours are.

For me:

My surgery was feb 25/ 2011, and I will conquer long distance running. It's been a goal of mine since grade school. I'm registered for the Disney princess half marathon next month. So excited!!!!!

My surgery was December 20, 2011 and I will conquer my fear of meeting new people, for fear of being judged for being fat. Or for thinking my husband's career will be limited by my appearance.

My surgery is scheduled for March 15, 2012. I am getting very excited but also aprehensive...

Like Amanda, I will conquer my fear of meeting new people and my fear of no man ever finding me attractive again. Oh and that my weight is impeding my ability to get ahead at work.

Ok I am glad I am not the only one who thinks we are discriminated against with the big ugly flowers and gross patterns. Its like...we are fat, it's not that we have no taste in clothing! Ugh I HATE THAT!

Oh and I hate my double chin too. :)

My surgery was December 8th but this happened three weeks ago.

I conquered my fear of restaurant booths. I sat in one with friends the other day and FIT. I tried to get a chair to pull up at the end but couldn't and ended up just sliding in. Much to my surprise, I fit with a little extra room between my stomach and the table.

Next up, I will conquer my hatred of exercise.

What awsome replies!!!!

I feel I need to add that I'm in the process of conquering my fear of "being out there" and excelling in the workplace. I have a meeting this week with the vice president of the bakery I help manage, to talk about my advancement in the company and my eventual buying of my store!!!!

I'm nervous!!!!!!

      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.
