Recommended Posts

What major changes took place in your life after bariatric surgery? (Other than losing weight of course.)

Well let's see this summer was the first summer ever I've been able to wear cute short summer dresses and I'm 42 might not seem like a big deal to most but I felt beautiful and sexy so that alone was worth the sugery and I started dating again after 9 1/2 years.

That is very cool!

After surgery I probably won't try to wear summer dresses.......and my wife would probably object to any dating......but I'm definitely hoping for some major changes apart from just the weight loss. It sounds like this has been a life changer for you and it's very encouraging to hear!

Congratulations by the way!

I can shop in regular stores and shop for clothing cut for women, instead of men's XL.

I can swing up into my saddle without having to find a log or rock to stand on. And a I don't feel bad about making my horse pack me around the mountains.

I can walk up hills or up stairs without getting winded.

I can make it through a whole work day on my feet without my knees and ankles screaming in pain.

I wake up in the morning after being at a party the night before and not be hungover.

My monthly bank statement keeps getting bigger because my grocery store/liquor store/restaurant bills are so much less.

I can run a mile nonstop. I am really starting to like skinny jeans. I love lifting weights.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
