Stupid brain....... ????



Recommended Posts

I been out of surgery now for 5 months....... This has been a crazy journey........ The day of surgery my weight was 310, today I'm 227, so yes I'm excited but I can't see the change in the mirror.......... The only way I can see a change is if I compare my before and after photos....... In the beginning of this process I told myself that I hasn't going to be of those people that always thinks their fat when their not but I think I'm turning into that person already......... I wondering if it's just me or others brain hasn't caught up to their body............... I had this surgery to relieve pain in my back and legs... I never cared that I was fat, but now it would be nice to see myself like others do.....

If I see a pic of myself it takes me off guard and surprises me. If I suddenly glance in the mirror or a window I think wow is that me? I look skinny! But if I stand in front of a mirror and look at myself I will still feel fat. I'm 10 months out, 120 pounds down and at my surgeons goal but still have the fat brain. Hopefully that'll change in time.

      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?
