It took me 2 years to actually make the decision for surgery. To me, it was an extreme last resort. But once I made the decision and began the process I felt good about it. Yes there were several days I thought I’d made wrong choice but I kept on with the process. I figured if I don’t want to do it I have right up until surgery day to change my mind. Well my surgery is in six days!!! April 9th I will enter the hospital and finally take my life back. I will have a tool to help me control the food. The food will no longer control me.

Getting sleeve tomorrow at noon! Woohoo!!!

Maze and Blue fan for sure!!!

No matter the age we always want our parents approval. I am 54 years old and go thru same issue with my parents. I woke up in my hospital room after being opened up and closed right back up. I still had to recover and was so devastated to find out I hadn’t had the surgery! My parents came to visit me and as they sat in my hospital room my mother tells me this is all crazy and that I should just get some diet pills. Real supportive!!! Nevertheless less, I am still going to have the surgery. My body, my choice. Period.

Well as you may or may not know my surgery on April 9th did not go as planned. Opened me up and closed me up almost as fast. Found a fatty mass but doc didn’t know what it was so he was hesitant to continue. Long story short, between the treatment from the staff at hospital to the treatment I’ve since received from the surgeon, my PCP is asking me to move on to a diff hospital and program. She’s appealing my insurance to get me into her hospital. Hoping it works. I’m tired of waiting. Ready to finally get this done and begin new journey. Feels like I’m in limbo.

Hi there. Surgery did not go well. Surgeon found large mass in my bowel area and could not finish the surgery so he stitched me back up and said to come back after I heal from this in 4-6 weeks. Pathology on the mass just reads as fatty tissue. Guess that’s my silver lining. This has been the worst experience. Not my first surgery so I pretty much know how care and hospitals work and this hospital not so good. So my plan is to move forward from this and try to stay positive. I still feel the surgery is a good route for me. However I have so many commitments ahead of me for the summer that the timing won’t work and now I’ll have to wait until the fall. Very disheartening to say the least.

Spending time with the grandkids and when we’re not doing that, hubby and I are riding our Harley’s! My motorcycle is my passion and freedom and just one of the reasons I’m on this wls journey. We have some long road trips planned and being in shape will help with fatigue and riding in general.

Wow!!!! Fantastic! You’re an inspiration to us all!!!
