Two year anniversary!



Recommended Posts

I've been reading the boards today as it's the second anniversary of my surgery; I was sleeved 2 years ago today! I'm down 104 pounds, my surgical team is pleased, and I am so happy with myself now! Yes, I am still learning, every day, but it's a good learning. I've stayed on track, I've fallen off the cart and made my mistakes, but I feel like I am always moving forward. PLEASE... if you are anxious, scared, nervous about having the surgery, don't talk yourself out of it. Is my life perfect since surgery? No, but I am SO MUCH HAPPIER with myself and with who I am. Please have the confidence to know you can do this, know you can stick to your program even through the harder times around your surgery. Being sleeved was the best thing I've ever done for myself, and only wish I'd done it ten years earlier!!

Congrats on keeping on it for two years. Great motivation for those that have worries. I had very few doubts pre surgery and post have had none so far. It's all a new experience to me and I couldn't be happier with my choice. If felt like I was at the end of my rope with my old stomach/old me and the only thing left to do was fall. So glad this surgery came into my life. Also huge CONGRATS on your weight loss!!!

I love reading positive posts. I am so scared of what can happen after surgery. Vitamin deficiencies, protien deficiencies, gerd, loosing too much weight... Ect. I have worst case scenario brain.
I am so scared but I know this is what I need to push me in the right direction.
Do you have any issues 2 years post op?

      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.
