All Alone On My Big Day



Recommended Posts

Wow after reading a post here, I remembered that my DH took me to the hospital and left to go to work after my surgery and I really didn't have any visitors until my daughter picked me up after the second night. I had a lot of fun with my morphine pump, slept and didn't miss anyone. It was so nice to be left alone. :) Gosh how lucky was i....?

You can do this! You have everyone's support on this forum. I use this as my support system, because I chose not to tell anyone but my hubby. Look thru this site as you go through the different phases. Use the search feature and look up things as you are going thru it; like depression, regrets, and other scary feelings you go thru at first. This will help you see that it is normal. Then when you realize that these are normal feelings and will pass you feel better. Hang in there we are all here for you!!!

Sometimes we have to do things alone and in the end our families who didn't stand by us are the ones who are going to have the biggest regrets. You are so strong to continuing this journey and this is one small step. Ask your hospital if they have a support group. I know the one I went to has this program called visiting angels where other wls patients mentor others. It sucks when we don't have our families backs, but it's their loss not ours. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and everything goes well.

      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.
