Unsure About This Surgery?



Recommended Posts

If you think you might not be convinced about if this is right for you, then please read my blog this week. I had a couple of conversations with people who were post-op (and one who is in complete denial at almost 275 lbs) and wanted to share this with the forum.

You can take a look by clicking on my blog. I post every Sunday (often from different places so it's a bit of a Travel/Weight loss blog!). But this week's is an important one I think.

Good luck to everyone who is pre-op and thinking about this or in the queue!

It's right below my signature at www.queenofcrop.com For some odd reason (I don't know why) but we're not supposed to put a link in the body of our posts which I find weird because aren't we all here to help each other?

Thanks for looking!

That is awesome. I find myself talking myself into and out of and back into this sx almost daily. But, I also am finding myself getting a little more excited as my date draws near. I'm scared to death; my good friend food will no longer be my comfort and I m gonna have to face that head on.

I am so thankful that I've met friends on here who, while we've never met in person, we text every single day. That is a support network worth it's weight in gold.

Thanks for an awesome blog post.

Great great blog.... I am/was so in denial.... when I woke up and started accepting I saw myself for what I was... an unhealthy fat person.... times have changed and acceptance is *itch... a hard pill to swallow but definitely a must

Thanks for the blog! I am one of the new swimmers (I might sink at first but I am ready for whatever comes my way!) Unfortunately many of us cannot afford $10,000 even if we wanted to. You are definitely correct we are paying more and more on food, medical bills and all of that. There are many other options that people should look at, for example after much research I decided to go to Mexico to a wonderful surgeon who has more experience than most surgeons here in the USA. (please people do your homework, don't go to just anyone because of the money!) so there are options out there we just have to be willing to look.

dr. Ponce de leon in Tijuana Mexico. It's $5,500 plus the flight to San Diego California. He has been a surgeon and teacher of many surgeons for over 20 years. I would more than happy to talk to your friend and give her/you more info. You might also want to watch my video on YouTube. Feel free to ask me any questions.

      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.
