Not following my surgeons recommendations....



Recommended Posts

BECAUSE he keeps thinking I had Gastric Bypass and not the Sleeve! My 6 month check up is this week and I'm not even excited for it. Starting weight 276 in January, Surgery weight April 15th 255 and current weight 199.5 (yay!) I've been told by my surgeon I'm not losing as fast as everyone else and to eat 3 meals a day with no Snacks. Well too bad because I continue to eat 5 small healthy meals a day and I think I'm doing great so he can shut it! :)

Aside from fuss at you, he can't undo your surgery. Welcome to onederland.

Seems fast to me. Seems to me the longer one goes super low cal, the more messed up the metabolism for life. Slow and steady is awesome.

​Sounds pretty good to me and I DID have bypass! :) How annoying that he can't get that right! Read your dang notes! What if there was something else really important you needed him to remember? Dr's get on my last nerve sometimes! I know they can't remember all of us, but that's why there is a medical file....

Are you sure he did the surgery you were expecting? Maybe he forgot which one he was suppose to do and did the bypass! What a douche.

Yes I've reminded him at previous post op appts then he reads his notes and says "oh yeah." He probably could have retired 10 years ago ;)

      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!!
