FUNNY question for post op 3 weeks or less



Recommended Posts

I actually had a sort of opposite experience. I had kind of felt like it would all be slow, no one would notice, i would be able to not tell people I'd had the surgery. I'm down about 25lbs since pre-op and suddenly, I looked in the mirror and I looked thinner to myself. And an outfit I had worn not long ago that fit normally then was baggy and loose. So now I'm like, Hmmmmmmm. This is going to be noticeable... :)

I do know what you mean, though! I kind of wish I had a chart to follow that indicated how much weight I'd be down, and when. It's funny making plans and thinking, "I wonder what I'll look like in February/April/June..."

I'm 3 weeks post op on Monday. I started to see a difference right away. I drove myself crazy with the scale because it was on the fritz. I ended up literally throwing it out the window. It was liberating and I loved the breaking noises. Then I bought a new scale. I dont really care what the scale says because i can SEE a difference. The scale hasn't dissapointed me yet, though. And I step on it often because I like the blinky lights on the display. Ha.

      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.
