I Had my first appointment with sleeve surgeon!



Recommended Posts

I broke down in tears during my appointment !

Doctor weighed me , measured my height and told me that I was 35 BMI .

My life came flashing back ... All those years of being self conscious of my weight .., embarrassed at school .. Dropped out of dancing classes ( because everyone was slim and perfect ) settled for looser boyfriends ext ..

My surgeon saw and felt my pain and told me that I am a good candidate .

Having surgery in October .

Booked in !

I know family , husband will question the safety of surgery but for once in my life I know that nobody will influence me to not go ahead!

I am always influenced by people ( softy) always scared to voice my words in fear I will be judged on my weight !

I want to be free .. I

I want to loose excess fat and have no concerns that people will comment on my weight ( as if it is my fault for being fat)

I just want to be fit and normal weight .

I have a right to be skinny and so do all other overweight people !

I am seeing past the fat and excess weight now !

I will conquer and claim my right to be fit !

Thank god for gastric sleeve !

Bless the surgeons !

Good for you. Several of my co workers have had vsg surgery. Their relationships didn't last. I was engaged until a few weeks before my surgery. We had not been getting along and I wanted a fresh start with my weight loss. Seems like this really tests a relationship!

      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.
