My Turn! I have surgery tomorrow morning.



Recommended Posts

I will have my surgery done tomorrow morning. I am calm and self assured about it. I look forward to having this done. I want my new life to start right away and feel that I will have the life that I see for myself. For me I have to see it (in my head) to be it! I see a demur pretty woman that attracts attention but is not looking for it. A poised woman. A healthy woman. A fit woman. I have so much to look forward to. I know the challenges I face post op, but so minimal to the thought of continuing being overweight. I will remember that for a while "comfort is a want, not a need" repeat, repeat, repeat.....Thanks for all the Q n A, thus far. You are all my great support. TTYL

Hey lite,

My surgery was today, and like you I felt very at peace. Everything went well, never have had any incision pain!

He found a smallish hiatal hernia and repaired, so actually the only pain is high on the chest when I breathe in. Surgeon says its more from the hernia.

I requested and all of the nausea meds, and so glad I did, absolutely no nausea! Walked the halls twice this eve with a nurse and she said next I can try on my own.

Absolutely happy about how well it's gone so far!! Stay calm, visualize a success, pray, and you will do fine!

      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... :(
