FEBRUARY SURGERIES



Recommended Posts

Good for all of you February sleevers!! I had mine November 28,2012. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. It's been a complete lifestyle change, but well worth it. I've lost nearly 50 pounds and feel great. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to have my surgery after I had gone through all the prerequisites because it was close to the end of the year and there were no surgery dates available! My deductible had been met and I was close to my out of pocket max. To go into 2013 would have made it unaffordable for me. But God is good! Somehow I got a surgery date the second week in November!

I just got approved and am now scheduled for February 28th. Kind of in shock. I know that I want to do this and that I must, but wow, what a commitment. Am I really going to let someone cut into me and take out part of my stomach and forever give up eating all that food? I keep telling myself that I will do this, but it really is hard to believe!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
