Recommended Posts

I hd a meeting w/ my mortgage broker, today & its in a real ritzy high rise in Plano Tx, a upscale suburb of Dallas tx, &. I wanted to look nice & im elated w/ my 10-12 lbs WL I've always worn 6" heels, bcuz of my profession, even @ 290 lbs( my heaviest) but i new gravity & my new stomach wouldnt agree w/ that @ 13 days post opp, so i wore a cute outfit & my 2" wedges... well after the meeting i went by Walmart & picked up a few things, then had to take my neighbor to run an errand & by time i made it home my stomach had swollen enough for my family members to notic & i was feeling horrible, not in excruciating pain but a dull pain in the bottom of my stomach abouve the groin area... DO ANYONE THINK I MESSED SOMETHING UP? Well i took my pain meds & n bed now watching 600lb life w/ feet elevated!!! I FELT BACK TO NORMAL LIKE DAY 5 Post opp, but we hv to be careful, we are still healing on the inside!!! HMU

Sounds like you were working your lower muscles walking in your heels. Heels does make you stand straighter in turn you were probably over compensating so you didn't hurt your incisions and stomach. That's my theory but if it contIndies I would call the doc. Way to go on your weight loss. I can't wait to get mine done.

      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.
