How are you feeling

[Tiffany2015 26]

Feeling ok. Im anxious to lose weight but have to remember my body just went through major surgery and needs time to heal. The best thing you can do is walk after surgery. You will feel relief when that gas stars being released from your body. Been drinking Water and Protein Shakes. Havent quite been able to drink all of the required 64 oz of liquid daily. However, im still trying. Incisions dont hurt unless you over exert urself which i was on the brink of doing today. Its ur insides that are trying to adjust themselves back into ur body that is uncomfortable. But manageable. Good luck! If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask.

How was the pre op diet

And how long are you taking off work

[Tiffany2015 26]

Well pre op diet was hard, but after about the 5th day my body adjusted as best it could. But i started my pre op diet on jan 2nd to try to lose as much as possible because i weighed over 500 lbs. so when i came to surgery date i weighed about 40 lbs less and under 500 lbs, by far one of the best feelings ever. Lol so i was concerned about time off as well. I wouldnt b getting paid for it. So im trying to get temp disability. I got a Dr note until the 10th of Feb. Had surgery on Jan 28th. I have a post op appt with Dr. lamar on the 9th to remove staples from my incisions and check progress before i return to work the following day. All in all i had a really great experience with Dr. lamar and his staff.

So happy for you

I'm still saving money for the surgery. After the 6 months of nutrition and counseling my insurance won't cover any more.

I'd love to stay in contact with you and see how your doing if that's ok.

[Tiffany2015 26]

Yea that would be great. I would also like to know about your journey. I have been researching and waiting years for this. Along with trying to still lose weight on my own. I had my pre op appt with Dr. lamar on Oct 15th, then after that started getting all my pre op tests done that he ordered then 3 and a half months later i had surgery, stay positive. Takes time but well worth the wait.
