What Can I Look Forward Too? :)



Recommended Posts

Hey so you didn't have the surgery???

2013 is my year....SD 11/19 Methodist Hosp in NY

Yes I had the surgery. I was being overly sarcastic.

Here's what else you can look forward to....

Not recognizing yourself in the mirror

Others not recognizing you

Saving a fortune on fast food (I pretty much lived on the "drive thru window" diet)

Buying smaller clothes

Throwing those out and buying even smaller clothes

Getting your wedding ring resized because its falling off

Tying your shoes without passing out from holding your breath

Seeing your hoo-hoo without a mirror

Skinny sex

More skinny sex

Sitting in a restaurant booth

Having the room to wiggle around in chairs

Having to buy padded toilet seats because you lose your natural padding

Hearing the question "how did you lose the weight?" 5 million times

Being able to wear "one size fits all" garments

Did I mention skinny sex?

Look forward to just being sexy and confident in your own skin. There is nothing better than being naked (taking photos) with some sexy thong/underware on posing in front of your husband. I love my new body and so does my hubby. Honestly, I love my sleeve and my surgeon for performing this miracle.

you will hate your body the first few weeks, probably even say u have regreted the decision, but around week 3-5 you will have been completely healed and eating a "normal" diet! :-D

      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.
