Summer Makeover! New teacher look!



Recommended Posts

Hi Friends,

I am a teacher for children with severe autism and cognitive deficits. I love it, but chronic pain has really weighed on me. I work with 3-4 year olds and some days are so physical and it can be like herding kittens.

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op band to sleeve revision. This is not my first rodeo!! I feel amazing. Down 24 lbs. and ready to take on the world. My clothes feel great and just back to feeling healthier. So, it's time for my 3 month transformation. Today I got rid of the gray. Cut some new bangs. Getting some highlights in a few weeks.

I love the difference in my feeling of satisfaction after I eat a small amount of food. I am on mushies still. The lapband worked great for two years. Then the tube moved and was causing spleen and diaphragm pain daily. It took 2 years to figure out the problem along with a 30 lb regain. I am so happy to be pain free. Today I finally decided to work out. I am a swimmer. It was great to get back in the pool this morning.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and thanks for letting me share. Any other teachers doing the same thing? post-288712-14671351750565_thumb.jpg

      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.
