Ready to get started



Recommended Posts

I start my insurance required weight loss program in 2 weeks. My insurance requires a 3 month weight management. I'm so ready to finally get started doing something!

We recently moved into a house, I took it upon myself to mow the lawn today, good lord! I thought I would die! Sad part is the yard is very small... My legs felt like Jello and my thighs also felt like they where on fire when I got done. I had to stop several times to catch my breath. I was breathing so hard my throat was on fire, felt like it was burning as I sucked air in and out!

I'm so tired of being this out of shape and everyday task hurting. Really to get moving to my new lease on life!

Have a great weekend everyone!

lol. You have a great sense of humor. I was rofl, probably because it sounded just like me. I wouldn't even attempt that one. I would have died.

Well after surgery you could open your own lawn company. You will have the energy to mow 100 lawns!

I understand the being tired and mowing the yard. I must say that I don't have the exact story but I hate that I have to take several breathes and reve up my engine to go up and down...

Before surgery I had to cut my grass in stages - mow a little, rest a little (or a lot), sometimes over a couple days. My yard is 1 1/2 acres w/about an acre of grass and 675 feet of street frontage w/more grass (it's a corner lot). It takes two hours to mow w/a push mower. Now I can mow the whole thing (with short breaks every 1/2 hour to drink water), do some gardening, play w/the dogs, clean house, cook dinner, walk the dogs... and STILL have energy to do whatever else I want. I have my life back. :-)

There certainly is! In addition to increased energy, my back pain, knee pain, and foot pain is gone. All this in four months! :-)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
