Everything Is Happening So Fast...



Recommended Posts

These last 24 hours have been crazy. For some who might remember back in September I was diagnosed with Barretts and told I could either have rny or find a new surgeon who would still do the surgery. Well I got a second opinion and I do not have Barretts! The test was wrong. My Dr called me at 8pm last night at home to discuss and said I could have the surgery.

So I went from probably not having it to they submitted my case to insurance today!

Wow I'm a mixed bag of emotions right now!!!!

I just had to share with you all. I will hopefully be sleeved by the end of the year. Woohoo.

I was diagnosed with Barrett's prior to my sleeve, though my surgeon was not intimidated by it. Also, what he found was not a full blown inflammation. I'm glad that your diagnoses was a fluke! Unfortunetly, it runs in my family. :(

Yeah my barbaric surgeon said Barretts is a contraindication for the sleeve and he wouldn't do it and won't do it for anyone that has it. He is a great guy and I really wanted him to perform mine. So when all his happened I of course was so excited :)

But now I'm also scared lol. It's all so real now.

You'll be fine!! After I made it through the rough Patches, I can 100% say it is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm still in the middle of my journey. You will hit rough spots, and you will question several times in the first couple of months right after the famous question, "What the hell have I done?!" But, when everyone on here tells you, "It gets better." They really mean that. It does, and it will. I'm reminding myself that right now as I go through the last scary thing I hope I face, which is the scary hairloss. I'm 2 months into it, hoping this month I see it slow down or stop. Congratulations!! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
