Monday Funday Question Of The Day!



Recommended Posts

Having people that didn't know me before talk about something and say "well, you wouldn't know about that since you're so tiny".

Makes me grin and pull out my phone to show my before pictures!!!

people have always said this to me, it used to go along with "if you werent fat".

In this case I knew what she meant. My step-mother told me: "You are beginning to look like yourself again."

You see, with my fat face, I didn't have a "pretty" face. It was bloated and misshapen. You could hardly see my eyes.

It sounds harsh, but it really is a compliment. What I don't like is when I know people notice, but don't say a thing as if they would be saying: "You look great now, but you didn't use to when you were fat.

It's okay. i know I looked like Uncle Fester with hair when I was fat. Okay, I know I'm still fat, but with marked improvement.

      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.
