First Visit To Doctor After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I go see my surgeon for my 2 week follow up. I am nervous. All the things keep running through my head.

What if I've messed up? What if the band has slipped? What if I'm not losing fast enough? Will I get a fill? What if..........? You can see that I'm driving myself crazy.

So, what should I expect the first visit? I did find a local support group that meets at 6 pm on

Tuesday nights. Maybe going will help calm my insecurities.

What if everything is fine

What if you are getting yourself into a state for nothing.

Take a deep breath and RELAX. I am sure that everything will be fine.

I didn't get a fill at my 2 week appt. He just told me to move on to solid food. I met with the psyc and nut too. Have the surgeon check your insicions too make sure they are healing properly. Hope the appt. goes well!

why are you worried? you are fine. dont worry about getting fills (i think most drs wait until 4 to 6 weeks out). as for losing, you should be more concerned with healing instead of what the scale says..and your doctor will be so proud of you for doing as well as you are. i know i am.

like my friend elcee said, what if nothing is wrong?

what if you are terrific?

what if you are doing great?

what if you are right on schedule?

bet you are.....keep us informed as to what the dr said :)

Of course, the first visit wasn't as bad as I thought. I had lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks. Everything seems to be on track. Get my first fill on August 29th, a little over 4 weeks from my surgery on July 26th.

Done! Whew!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
