you not that big



Recommended Posts

"Why are u getting sleeved? " was the question that I was asked over and over again. It was followed by the comment "you're not that big". It consumed me a lot. I dwelled on comments like this all the time. I stand 5'3 weighing 248 lbs. I always was overweight even growing up.i tried every diet that I could possibly think of. The result were I dropped a couple pounds and gain more . I realize that I had to stop and face the fact that I had and eating disorder. It didn't matter what I ate I just couldn't seem to get full. I would want more. I knew that I was risking every moment eating my life away. I was even told that I was "cheating" by getting sleeved and that I should lose it the right way. My response" if u haven't been in my shoes with being overweight with and eating disorder how dare u say anything".Getting sleeved on September 23rd 2013 means so much to me. It mean s that I can finally live and be happy. I hope that this can be an inspiration to someone that is considering the sleeve. Remember its ur life so why not live it ....xoxoxo

      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.
