Cinco de Mayo a new reason to celebrate!



Recommended Posts

Hi, my surgery date is May 5th. I can't wait, because this two week diet is a real challange for me. I'm just at the cutoff for the surgery, and a lot of people are telling me I should't do the surgery. I know, and my family knows my life long struggles. I have their support, so I'll be ok. I hope to connect with some people with the same issues that I have. I live in south Florida, surrounded by beautiful, perfect bodies. I'm hispanic, so eating around my extended family is going to be "fun". I'm optimistic so WATCHOUT!:crying:

I am very jealous of you. I am at the cut off also and I have struggled with this most of my life a nd I desperately want the surgery but my husband is pretty much refusing that I get it and I am so disappointed. He really does not understand this struggle. He has no idea what it is like. I would like his suppoert but it is really hard to do it wiht no suppoert. I really wish you all the best and I wish I was in your shoes. Best wishes to you!!!!Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

Vucarre, thanks for the support. I hope you do get the surgery someday. Maybe you should take your husband with you to a seminar or to your doctor. My husband didn't want me to have any more surgeries, I've had a few for health reasons. But, hey it's my body. I need to feel good about myself and my famous saying is "If Mommy's not happy, no one's happy". My family get's it!

      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.
