Ready To Get Out



Recommended Posts

I m almost three weeks post op and I have been laying around a lot. I ve been sore and tired. But I feel like tomorrow I am finally ready to start back into normal life. However I can't help feeling lonely in this whole process. Like i just don't function like the rest of the world does now. Anyone else feeling that? Friends and family have been great, but they don't have to do what I do.

I understand how you feel. After my surgery I was very emotional and moody. I'm never normally like that. As far as being tired that's normal. You just have to push yourself to get out. Start with a short walk and increase it as you go along. This is a long journey but at the end you will be happy. My surgery was April 23, 2012 and I am down 88 pounds. I am so happy. I have 22 more to lose before I reach my goals.

I'm four weeks post op and still a lil tired but really depressed. So I know how you feel. Take it one day at a time. That's what I'm doing.

      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.
