Almost a year post op



Recommended Posts

So, its almost a year and I'm excited but a little anxious about it. My weight has gone up and down and stalled but I finally am starting to lose more weight since being off risperidone.

Here is a little update:

I saw my PCP and she told me I was a little bit anemic and she told me to buy Iron pills. I already had been taken iron pills before my blood work so she just said increase to two a day.

My PCP also put in a referral for me to see a GI for a colonoscopy and to see a new bariatric surgeon. I am still waiting for the calls.

My aprn finally took me off risperidone and I am on vraylar and I have been for two days. I already lost .8 pounds.

I am no longer taking any sleep meds and I am now just taking one antidepressant.

I started therapy a week ago and she works with gastric bypass patients so she really seems to understand.

I also haven't had any rectal

bleeding for this month and no stomach cramps as well as no dizziness either.

My B12 was really high so I was told to stop taking it for awhile. Now I am taking b complex, iron and a Multivitamin.

      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!!
