Recommended Posts

I'm breaking out in hives hahaha. Seriously I'm nervous and scared. Please pray for me and wish me well. Any kind words will be appreciated. No one knows except my husband. And i don't want to get him scared and freak out. He had a cousin pass away from complications of the bypass. So he's super supportive but obviously concerned. No friends or family know. Ladies and Gents...they are coming to pick us up in 90 mins. Jeez louise..!!!

I know I am making the right choice but it's hitting me right now...this is real..and actually happening!! Anyone here...please help! Tell me something good! :-). Thank you!!

May The Lord bless you and guide the doctor and his team to a successful surgery. Amen! I was sleeved 4 months ago and remember I was so nervous every part of my body tingled so much it actually hurt. I started getting antsy and asking all sorts of stupid questions to the medical staff and my husband was laughing at me. I remember being rolled in the operating room and them surgical team waiting for me at the door like you would see at a sports game receiving their team. I asked if they were there for me and they asked what my doctor's name was. When I told them, they answered "Yup, lets get this this show on the road" so positive. So I send you positive vibes! Have a good recovery. Best wishes to you!

Hey everyone!! Again....Thank You!! U guys helped me remain strong. So on the 15th was surgery. Had hiccups and gas but kept walking and felt good. Strangely, all my anxiety disappeared around discharge time. I know for sure I made the right choice. Too late now right! Ha-ha. I did break out in hives on the crown of my head but otherwise Im good. Im drinking my liquids. I love ice and very cold drinks. Still no word said to my Mother. Waiting for the right time. My sister is going thru a bit of a thing that will soon be resolved..so Im waiting until things are good. Maybr until my stitches are healed and eating something more solid. I just didnt want to overload her. Dr Alvarez was excellent. When Im settled Im going to write out my experiences. Im keeping track of everything. I dont regret it. I look forward to the future. This is most def a journey and not a destination.

I am so grateful for such sympathetic people on this site and Dr. Alvarez's staff. The fear blew me away...almost. it just hit me all at once. :-) my husband is treating me like a baby and I love it! Haha. Like a Princess. It makes me feel like I picked a good one. :-). Any questions..concerns..please lt me know. I will most certainly will help as much as I can Pretty Babies..

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
