Tomorrows consultation



Recommended Posts

maybe one day I will be hoping for one too - I will cross my fingers, eyes and toes for you! Tough day at work for me trying to work all crossed (fingers, eyes, & toes) though!

Let us know what the results are so we can cheer you on. I heard the recovery is a B*TcH.

@@youngmilf - I totally get the pic thing (naked or not). I didn't have any pain post op but I have heard its painful and I would like to possibly do my stomach and get the "girls" back to a normal area. I have always been chesty and my one GF's first question was post-op for the sleeve was "what about your boobs?" I couldn't believe it! She is almost as chesty and has a belly to rest hers on too! Love her, but really.....thought a sister wouldn't asked more about my new tummy :/

Hey all... Consultation went well. I go back sept 11th... I have a little work to do... I have to loose as much weight as possible. Between 30-60 at max... I also have to get a antifungal cream on documented for this persistant itch... If it works they wont approve... But if it doesnt then it will be approved... In so many words he gave me the blue print to get approved. The extra weight loss is to get the best result possible.... I do like a challenge and so he told me to enjoy my summer and i got my appt for sept...he told me this is going to be the hardest thing i do the extra weight loss.... But i know i can do it... Its crunch time now!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
