I've gotten this but I appreciate it. My interpretation is that they've been worried about my health and they're happy that I made such a big decision to better my life. I actually think it's very much the same as congratulating someone on getting their Masters. I got mine in 2011 at the ripe old age of 52! You'll probably get a lot more years use out of yours! Congrats!

This is actually VERY common and is one of the things they watch for during the pre-op psych eval, because they know this happens. I went through it as well. Had some crazy moments where I was like.. WTF did I do.

Also, it is reversible. It doesn't happen often, and only under extreme cases, but it *CAN* be reversed since nothing was taken out, just split and reassembled.

Don't worry about it, seriously, don't worry about it. The "dangers" and statistics are skewed with old data from older versions of the surgery. The surgery has come a VERY long way since it started.

You'll get back to feeling better / normal as you heal and as things change. You'll be very happy in a few weeks, just wait it out and make sure you do your very best!

I'm really digging it!

I was 31 when I went to the information session for my surgeon’s office and 32 when I actually had the surgery done. I wish I would have done it 10 years ago.

@FluffyChix You're rockin' that hourglass shape, aren't you? I'm still more like a stopwatch!

I know I packed clothes and didn’t get to use them until discharge. They kept me in a hospital gown. And you will not be worried about what you look like during that time. You’re going to do great! I am so happy for you! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!

I have a weird suggestion for the Cinnabon craving. I bought a Cinnabon flavored Creamer and add a teaspoon or 2 to my vanilla Protein Shakes. Yum!

So my stomach binder came in today and oh my God it was just what I needed! Everything feels held together nicely and I don’t have the granny walk when I wear it. Best $35 I’ve ever spent

it's me Frustr8, getting . ready to to go home. Bag of sodium,solution going into, my iv, once it gets done I'm history here. No more than cat scratches. Amazing to me too. write more later.

I’m so glad that you are okay but so sorry you had to go through this. Praying for your speedy recovery and no more setbacks!

Water post op has a tendency to feel like lead hitting your tummy. Maybe try crystal light in your water. It strangely does change the texture of the water, can’t quite explain it, in any event, it makes it more manageable to drink. Good luck!

I don’t know! We need @frustr8 to weigh in on this since it’s her big day!!! I’m so excited for her!

Soon!

Prayers for Ellie! Hope she feels better soon!

My latest nsv isn’t much but it means something to me. I can’t really see change in my body but my measurements are shrinking and clothes that used to fit tightly fit and are actually fitting looser 😊
