190 Degree turn around



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update. The first of the month found me in the hospital for about 2 weeks with severe nausea and vomitting (dry heaves really). Well today - I FEEL GREAT! It is almost like that time never even happened. Of course as the hospital bills start rolling in I get a quick reminder. ugh. That's ok though. If that is what it took to start a healthy lifestyle then that is what it took and I'll just do what I have to do. I'm still trying to get use to finding the foods that work best for me but I'm learning.

It may have taken me a couple of weeks of being seriously ill and LOTS of money, but I know in my heart that if I had not had the surgery, my life would have continued to be less than what I deserved because of my weight issues. I am already off 2 blood pressure meds and my sugar levels are perfect! the hubby says the snoring is minimal now:blush:. I'm still at a stall as far as weight goes but I'm not stressing about that either.

Thanks for all of your support,

Thanks,

For some reason my ticker will not update correctly. It should show that since surgery on Dec 8th I have lost 43 pounds.

Good to hear that you are doing fine. It is such a great feeling when you are off the medications coz then you start feeling that you did the right thing for healthier life. Good to hear that your sugar level is also back to normal and yes, your hubby must be getting a goodnight sleep with less snoring of urs !!:001_tongue:

Lucygoose, did you ever find out what it was that was making you ill? You had mentioned earlier that it did not have anything to do with your actual sleeve- so what caused all your symptoms? Really curious.

I am glad you are feeling better - and yeay for no snoring :)

I am glad to hear you're doing better too! It always makes me so sad to read that people are having a rough recovery since I had it so easy.

I am so glad to read that today you're feeling GREAT!

      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!!
