:) Ty All! Your Dreams Can Come True



Recommended Posts

Well I had surgery 7/24. With a preop weight of 305. Today I am 245 lbs. down from a 48 waist to a 40, a 4x shirt to An XL and best of all . . .

I just accepted a position as a flight medic.

Might not seem like a big deal but helicopters have weight limits for flight medics and I now am under the weight. This has been my dream since i started in ems 8 years ago. I start October 8th and I couldn't have done it without RNY and all Of you.

Thank you all for your support and for everything. Keep on losing people! Shoot for your dreams and remember you can do it, you have the tools!

      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.
