24 Hours Away From My Rebirth



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day for me. Surgery starts at 8:30 am. This has been an amazing journey so far, I enjoyed following each of your stories and now my very own will take form. For those who have never been overweight, it's impossible for them to understand what makes us a family. They will never really know what this transformation means on a spiritual or psychological level. There are no words to describe what it feels like not to fit in a chair, or to get stuck. The fear of flying because you know you will spill over into the next seat. Excluding yourself from vacations because you know you can't ride the rides. As I fade into my medically induced sleep, I will be checking out of personal prison built with pounds of fat, and checking into the half way house of life.

I hope to see you all there!!!

My surgery is also scheduled for tomorrow. Waiting for hospital to call with a time. As the day goes on today, I'm sure the nerves will kick in. Good luck to you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom , as the minutes pass, I'm turning into a basket case. Thank God the doctor said I can have Tylenol pm so I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to remember everything. I'm gonna get a cheap DVD player so I can watch movies. St Vincent's gives you the morphine pump, so my coworkers keep telling me I'll be too high to care what's on TV.

God speed to everyone that's going under tomorrow as well. We will all wake up in victory tomorrow!!!

I bought my iPad for my hospital stay, used it up to the moment they wheeled me back. After that, never picked it up the whole time I was recovering. Lol

Good luck tomorrow!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
