frustrated....but, not giving up!!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call from my doctor's office this week. They are having to postpone my surgery by two days. I was so mad when I found out, but now have come to terms with it. I guess it is kind of a blessing because it will give me two extra days to recover before I have to be back at school. It is going to be tough, but I know I have much support here and with my family and I will get through. My new surgery date is July 27 at 6:30 am. I have lost a total of 14 lbs on my pre-op diet the last two weeks and I am so proud of myself! It is a great feeling and I know I will be addicted to it after I have my surgery. Well thanks for listening.....

i am trying....just one more day!! I cannot wait! I started my liquid diet today and I feel ok! My dr only requires one day of liquid but I am doing two just to be safe. Nerves are starting to get a little jittery, but I can finally see the other side!! It has been a long journey, I started this process over 7 years ago and now it is finally happening!

Thank you so much for the support!

How are you doing now Dawn? You have been sleeved, been recovering!!! I was also sleeved on July 27 around 9:30am. My surgery time was posted for 10:45am but as soon as I got to the hospital, they started calling for me to get down to the OR. I had to be prepared and made ready but I was done earlier than we thought I would be.

It is now time for support and sharing of experiences. I have posted mine and if you have any questions, I am always here to help.

Good luck on your continued journey!

Sheila

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
