Inspiration of the Day



Recommended Posts

According to Buddhism, the 12 laws of Karma dictate our lives based on what our thoughts, speech, and actions. I'm not a religious person but these helped me today to remind me why I am on this journey.

1. The Great Law: “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

2. The Law of Creation: “What we desire comes through participation.”

3. The Law of Humility: “Refusal to accept what is will still be what is.”

4. The Law of Growth: “Our own growth is above any circumstance.”

5. The Law of Responsibility: “Our lives are of our own doing, nothing else.”

6. The Law of Connection: “Everything in the Universe is connected, both large and small.”

7. The Law of Focus: “One cannot direct attention beyond a single task.”

8. The Law of Hospitality and Giving: “Demonstrating our selflessness shows true intentions.”

9. The Law of Change: “History repeats itself unless changed."

10. The Law of Here and Now: “The Present is all we have.”

11. The Law of Patience and Reward: “Nothing of value is created without a patient mindset.”

12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration: “The best reward is one that contributes to the Whole."

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
