Realistic Thoughts To Deal Gastric Surgery

I wish I could read about the truth about having gastric surgery. When you decide to do this there are alot of thoughts about How fast am I going to lose the weight? OMG I think I messed up! Or you have food funnerals. This is not a quick fixes it is a life time commitment. You must truly be ready to change your life if you want to achieve the desire out come. I had to wait a year an six months till I could get the surgery. I found out that at my old wait I was not the healthiest person in the world. I was sadden about news, I cried alot and was fearing about going to the doctor. At my height and weight I was feeling alone. I had family there but that was no confort for me. I was looking for a buddy to go thru this with. When I was post-op some of the advice was just to successful at times. Truthfully I had a hard time after I had my surgery. I could not sleep in my bed at home. I slept in a chair. I could not drink anything or eat anythings for two days after i left hospital. I also caught an infection and return back to hospital.

Now I am two month plus out, and I now hit a stall but I am not worried about that because this is going to be a slow and steady process and when the weight is not coming off the size is getting smaller. I am reaching many mile stones and I am proud of it.

So lets stop depending on everyone else because it is you job to make the correct changes in your life.

This is a tool not a miracle. So if you have a food addiction get it treated first because you are setting your self up for failure.
