Don't Feel Good....



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had no choice but to take a car ride. I had a driver take my son and I to an important appointment.

I thought no problem I will go along.

Well today I feel like I have taken 2 steps backwards!

I was feeling well walking every other hour for 15 min.

NOT TODAY!

All the bumps and the seat belt and riding around made me feel like I was hit by a truck!

Even my lungs aren't inhaling as well as they were.

I am so sad that I went backwards...

I hope you feel better soon. Try using pillows when riding in a car until your tummy heal.

The dr. Office didn't seem concerned they said I am still healing so any little car ride will feel like a set back. I told them the numbers on the little lung strengthener they gave me and my numbers only went down a little bit from yesterday. She said it is not drastic enough to be concerned. She said take it easy and don't worry I didn't damage anything.

Your right.... better safe than sorry!

My surgery was Tuesday, oct 23. I had two days of nausea and still dealing with mild to moderate pain, but actually feeling good overall! Today I've been sneezing a lot, which is very painful! I'm using this abdominal binder I got at the hospital, and that is helping, too.

Sneezing not allowed!

That hurts like hell I'm sure! I got a case of the hiccups this morning and it brought tears to my eyes! After the 7th or 8th one they finally went away. My Dr.'s office gave me a bear... I was squeezing him like crazy and my son named him boo since he helped with the hiccups! LoL kids.

      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.
