Ok so I was sleeved on 8/27 so I'm 4 weeks post-op. I am down 34 lbs and can tell it's really working it's way inward. For a while now it's hurt to prop my feet up on the couch and cross my ankles (bone on bone) and my wedding band is loose. I usually take a shower but last night I decided on a bath. As I was propping up my legs to shave I discovered a long lost body part!

No... not that....

I have a butt bone! LOL. I have lost a lot of my weight from this area and didn't realize just how much until I tilted back just a little in the tub and ouch! So I measured... I've lost 3 inches there!

I was sleeved on 8/23. I've only lost a little over 15lbs since, but I lost 35 before. Apparently I lost all 50lb in my rear end. It hurts to sit down; I feel bones poking. Even my office chair at work hurts. I said something at my MD visit and was told that this is what everyone says! I have thought about taking a bath but I don't think I'm brave enough - yet!

Sitting on a sponge helped me to finish shaving. Haha.

When I lay on my side in bed, my arm now rests on a hip bone instead of my former cushy fat. It doesn't feel all that good but it looks much better! :P

I really hope I don't lose anything from my hind part. I have nothing to spare back there. I always say God was working on my front and got distracted when it came to my back parts.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
