Recommended Posts

It's finally almost here! Surgery date is 2 weeks away on the 19th!! I am so nervous and excited at the same time!! All I have to do is go to my Preop and make sure i didn't gain any weight, my last test before the surgery!!! I cannot wait to feel good about myself again and have a whole new beginning!!! And just know how it feels to be comfortable in clothes for the first time ever!!!

about to start your new life :)

wonderful feeling :)

i'm sure, you know that you have a lot of hard work to do to lose weight

now you have been successful and at goal

life is good you are happy

no more work to do

NOT :huh:

actualllllly - life begins at maintenance :)

you have learned a new lifestyle

you need to follow all the many "rules" you've learned

for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

but............that 's ok

what a terrific life is in front of you :)

we've all lost the weight before, and before, and before and be....... ;)

then we've always ended up gaining, and gaining and gaining and gai............ :angry:

you will keep the weight off - as long as you........

continue the good habits you've learned while you were losing weight

you work with the sleeve/and the sleeve will work for you :)

you'll experience terrific new "firsts" :)

feeling healthier

getting rid of or improvement of certain co-morbidities (msp)

losing (decreasing meds)

walking better

able to be more and more active

ability to sit on a regular public toilet :)

leaving the handi-capped toilet for someone that really needs it

getting in and out of the car easier than before

trying on a new pair of pants - realizing they are too big

clothing sizes going down south

wrapping a bath towel around yourself after your shower :huh:

being unrecognizable by people since you've lost weight

those are just a few of the many, many new experiences you'll have

good luck with surgery in a couple of weeks

happy for YOU, that YOU are happy and excited

two weeks will be here before you know it

anticipation is fun too :)

      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.
