On the Road to Taking My Life Back



Recommended Posts

April 2010 I started this Journey, my road blocks were all health related, I found out I had tumors in my stomach, Barretts Esophagus and Pernicious Anemia. My first doctor seemed to be doctor Gloom and didnt give me a hopeful prognosis at all. I asked my primary care doctor to send me to a new specialist for a second Opinion .... needless to say I am so happy I didnt accept the first doctors diagnosis!!!!! Dr. Nadimpolli gave me hope and a path to get to this point. Now Here I am a year later , I cant do the Gastric Bypass because they will need to be able to perform the endoscopy exams to check for tumors , so I will be Sleeved on 6/27/11 the good thing about this is , it eliminates the creation of gastrin which was causing the tumors and the Barretts Esophagus should get better. Yeah!!!!!!! I so look forward to losing the co-morbidities that I have, I've seen so many of my loved ones suffer because of them. If I can change me first then I can be a blessing to someone through my experience!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me how to attach the ticker that shows your progress ? I want to have a way to track/measure progress as this journey begins.

Best wishes for everyone who has or has yet to start this journey to a healthier you !!!!!!!

Two fingers, ONe Love !!!!!

Hi Cammy, wow it does sound like you have had a rough road!

I hope everything from here on out goes smooth as silk.

I can't wait to follow your progress, I'm pre-op too.

I have pernicious anemia as well, it's no biggie. :)

Good luck!

Tanya

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
