Would do it again and again



Recommended Posts

I have been through a lot with my surgery. I've suffered complications and I haven't been able to eat a meal without pain in almost eight months.

It's been an ordeal and its cost me time and money and pain upon pain and my family strife and embarrassment and you name it.

But you know what? I would do it all again. Because I LOVE my body and I do feel ever so much better.

So if your on the fence just know that even in my shoes, I would do this again. It's given me my life back.

Oh you poor thing! ???? I'm really glad you feel it was definitely worth it though. One of my big worries is how I will cope with looking after my kids and being at work if I have any complications or long term pain issues-my husband is not entirely supportive of me having the surgery, and when I had my gallbladder removed last month I was back doing all the housework after a couple of days because he wouldn't lift a finger to help me ???? Still I am sure I've made the right decision and I can't wait to get started ????

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
