40 Days- What A Difference!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 8-27-12. Just 40 days ago. I am down 27 pounds since the day of surgery. I feel like I've had a spare tire surgically removed from my middle. I am so happy I did this for me!!

LOL that is so awesome to hear because i feel like I'm carrying around a spare tire in my abdomen and i'm so ready to be rid of it : )

I use to be thin many years ago and remember how good it felt to walk around and buy cute clothes.....I hate shopping now.....I cant wait for that to change.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
