I organized the garage, cleaned out my service van, ran some controls related service calls (under the radar), irritated the heck out of the wife.......that's about it so far.

Hopefully I get clearance to return to work at next Wednesday's post-op Dr. visit.......I'm goin' nuts.

I was sleeved last Wednesday and I'm really bored already. My kids are keeping me busy though and are happy I'm home more. I haven't been sleeping the same since before surgery so I.have even more time being up early everyday.

Watched Netflix, read, worked on a puzzle, relaxed.

If you can afford it you could always take a vacation..... Even if its a stay-cation and explore your town. That way you would be moving your body. We all wish for time to do things in life, but when we get the time we sometimes forget what we wanted to do.

Have fun!

I was off for a month. Took the maximum days allowed by my employer. Stayed in town, but ran errands and got a lot of personal things done. I go back tomorrow. Figured I would be okay since my employer supplies me with most of what I need.

Life of a mother :) I am blessed with an amazing husband who is hands on when he's home and my parents live with us so they helped out a lot.

Rest when you can :)

      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.
