Congrats on your surgery. How are you feeling? Are you getting your Water intake? Any pain?

Thank u! I'm feeling pretty good. I'm working on intake. Haven't really been measuring. But I'm going to pay attention today so i can have somethin definitive for my post op visit. No pain a and I'm a crybaby for pain. Just a bit of discomfort. Actually the most painful thing was the gas, and the shoulder pain.

That's great to hear. I've noticed everyone just about mentions shoulder pain & the gas. Glad it isn't too bad.

No Sassygal1, I pray I was not mislead by the Bariatric nurse/coordinator. Ha, now I wanna double check before I get my hopes up too high.

You should def call and make sure 1slimsistah2!! You don't want any surprises or delays. If you go online there are the requirements they want before surgery. It's under morbid obesity. Again just call to make sure. Maybe you have a diff type of plan under the same name.

I was given 8/19 as my date but my PCP submitted his approval letter with my blood pressure reading at 140/100 and now the surgeon doesn't want to do the surgery if it stays so elevated. He gave me a different more stronger Water pill and boy is it working and a higher dose of metoprolol 100mg 2x a day. He stated that this wbls would help me in lowering my pressure.

But you wanna know so,ething, I truly believe that my I.U.D. May be causing my readings. I passed all clinical trials. Pulmonary, cardiology, blood work, etc. so I am going to get it taken out. I've had it over 10yrs and no sex for approx 8 of those 10! Lol so that's my hunch.

Wish me luck. I go to the GYN at 9am. I want it out. Other than being 285# I don't know why my pressure is so high. I have low salt tolerance too.

So I was just given a date to see my surgeon on 8/14 to fill out consent forms and papers...my date is a go. 8/19! I had my OBGYn submit my BP readings from yesterday...and all my other exams took my readings which was never 140/100! They basically read I have BP but not that high of a gauge. I'm sure she averaged it out rom the pulmonary specialist, cardiologist, blood work, EDG, and now my OBGYN...I may suffer from "white coat syndrome" and I really value my PCP but I don't know why with him it's so different than everyone else's!

Just thankful I am having surgery on the 19th.

      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.

      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!!
