Emotional First Aide Kit (book)



Recommended Posts

​Not sure if this will help or not but there is a Book called Emotional First Aide Kit that addresses so many of the issues surrounding Bariatric Surgery.

I know before I started this journey I knew several people who had done this and had gained every bit of their weight back.

I did this for health reasons of course will be nice losing the weight.

However I want to be as armed as possible. I did not go through all this to gain it back. Also I have had people say: "don't you remember so and so who did that and look at them now. One thing is what is going on with "them" is their journey not mine. I hate it when people cast stereotypes.

I do see how important it is to stick with my resolve, Address issues right away and not wait, See the surgeon on scheduled visits.

Make Health and fitness a high priority.

Because I live in a rural community there is not a lot for support groups locally. Thank goodness for technology. I hope to use this site as much as I can. Is a way to get and give support with people in or close to the same place. :)

      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.
