Hello ladies! I'm one week away from my WLS (Weds Dec 12). I'm so excited, and feel pretty prepared... I'm actually more nervous about social-situations post surgery when I'm in my weight loss stage than the surgery itself, ha ha ha! I feel like it's an incredible blessing that I get to have this done... So many need it and want it, and don't get to have it paid for by insurance. I just can't tell you what a lucky gal' I am!!! :D

Hello December 2012 Sleevers!

My surgery is first case tomorrow morning. I am a bit anxious about surgery. I know I will be okay it is just that I must go through the process. I hope you all do well and I will just send a note to let you know I am sleeved and moving forward when I return home.

Best Regards,

AKTX

Dear December Sleevers,

I had my surgery Dec 4 and all went well. I am recoverying now and have good hopes for the future. The first day was a blur and the second day I was unconfortable with gas pains. The surgery itself is not hard to handle and I am glad I went through it.

For those of you who will have your surgery later this month I have one tip and that is don't be afraid to ask for help and encouragement if you need it; surgery is a big decision. My family was there and supported me all the way even when I had doubt. My doctor was a big support with just few words to me personally that really help me.

Thanks to all you who have giving me encouragement.

God Bless,

AKTX

      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!!
