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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
