HELP! I'M SUPER NERVOUS



Recommended Posts

Thank you. I just can't help myself and I've been feeling really down about it. If so petrified that this surgery won't work out for me. What then? I've been trying to hold it together but honestly I don't know how to take it. Sorry for being such a downer

You are causing yourself undue stress which won't help your body heal and lose. I know you know the surgery isn't magical. Losing the weight is a partnership between us and the surgery. If we do our part, the surgery will help us as the tool it is meant to be. Relax, follow your doctor's plan and focus on this journey.

I am 8 weeks out and on my second stall which has now been 10 days. Do I want to get frustrated? Yes. Do i wish the stall was over? Yes. Do I truly believe that I won't lose weight ingesting as little food as I do? No. Our bodies are very fine tuned machines and are going to do what is best for them. We can only support that by doing the best we can and more.

We are all in this boat together. Don't stress yourself out. It won't help you.

I was just sleeved August 9th I'm almost 2 week post op the first week I lost 11 pds now I've slowly lost 2 pds but I believe it's completely normal to hit a platau. Keep your mind focused on the outcome! Your body is healing and also adjusting.

      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.
