My One Year Surgerversary-



Recommended Posts

Wow, congratulations! You look great. I see you've lost 172 pounds, did you lose that all in a year? I have 165 to lose, and I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed, but you have inspired me!

Chancie,

You are my hero lady!!! Sometimes when I see the success of others and I compare it to what I have to do and the thing that is always hard is that I have to lose soooooo much weight and I can't imagine being able to do it, but you are my role model!!!! Keep on loving life and know that you have been an inspiration.

Thanks!

I have to say thank you all for the kind words!!

I also wanted to comment that I never thought of myself as a "role model"... but wantd to share my experience with you all.

Losing 50 pounds and 100 pounds seems daunting when we first start out... but I can understand some of your fears when you think of losing 150 to 200 pounds.

I had all those fears... I thought maybe this surgery won't work for me...thats ALOT of weight to lose!

But it did!!

I didn't make "goal".. but thats ok.. I am still working my tool...... it's slow going now, but I am healthier and feel better than I ever have.

It can be done, and if I can help anyone in anyway. feel free to message me!

Big HUGS to all of you for such great support!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
