Over Problems! Pray For Me Today.



Recommended Posts

I initially went to my primary Dr about two months ago.he talked me out of surgery while in his office. The moment I walked out I burst into years because I knee I wanted this surgery. I called the office and told them I am moving forward. I need a letter signed by him and my chatted weight. They jerked me around for a month. Today the receptionist tells me that doc doesn't think its the best option for me and that he doesn't see why he had to sign of f that these surgeon should. I was irate. I am going in today to plead with him at 4. I would appreciate any good vibes or prayers or pleasant thoughts my way. I don't know what I am going too do. I want another baby and I won't be able to get pregnant without it. I have pcos and probably sleep apnea according to my test. I need this.

If your doc won't help, get your records from them and find a doc who will. This isn't his decision. It is yours. If they won't support it, then find someone who will.

When it comes to this surgery you will know better then the doc if it's what you want and what you need.

Just a side note they say you shouldn't get pregnant until you are a year out of surgery.

Fingers crossed your doc will help on this journey. If not, there are plenty who will.

I agree and find a new doctor!! My primary doctor didn't think I "needed" it as well. I also have PCOS and asked my endo for a referral. The doctor I have now specializes in PCOS and agrees 100% that this is the right thing to do. I was told that the sleeve will change my body chemistry. In particular the hormone that gives u cravings. Finding the right doctor makes all the difference in the world!! Good luck and stay strong. I'm here if u want to talk. <3

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
