Band Day My Birthday! 4/24/08



Recommended Posts

My Mom. Well its really too much to explain. Lets just say we've had our difficulties. And the fact that she was a librarian for many years may shed some light!! The weight isn't her fault, but she does admit to teaching us kids to overeat. Of course we were sticks back then. She doesn't know about the surgery. I've only told my DH and 1 friend. Not sure how she'd react. Probably critically as usual.

It does seem like forever, but its better than the waiting for this and that as in the last several months. At least there is an end in sight. We're taking a trip over spring break, so that will help the time pass. I'm really getting excited too!

Good Luck.

Sorry about the difficulties...my Mom is also my target at times about my weight...I am adopted and she is TINY...I could wear her shoes for dress up in 3rd grade! However, my Dad has even had some great comments in the past...He was a college football player!! (you know goes for the tiny cheerleader type) Anyway, I know they love me and want my heath and happiness and are extremely supportive about this surgery.....they finally realize that it isn't just about my eating habits and exercise/lifestyle...in fact they recognize I have always tried...it just doesn't stay off...

So enough on that...I am responsible for me now and this is what I am doing about it!!! YEA!!!!

Enjoy your Spring Break!!! Mine was last week and by the way I am a librarian too LOL....

OMG! Youre a librarian too?? What are the chances. Well, you are probably familiar with the stereotypical personality traits! Even if you dont fit them. (I hope!) I'm embarassed now. :0

      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?
