Don't worry. Put ur worries in ur back pocket. Let go and let God. That's what our weight management group talked about today. I hope this helps.

I think some degree of fear prior to any surgery is a natural and healthy thing. I'd be more worried if you weren't a little afraid! That said, I can tell you that I was absolutely astounded at how they have perfected this procedure. I was walking four hours after my surgery and had very little pain. I had Tylenol with codeine twice the day AFTER my surgery and haven't had so much as an aspirin since. When I look back at the anxiety and anticipation and fear that I had pre-op, it is almost laughable. I'm 28 weeks post-op and 103.5 pounds lighter today and I can say to you with all sincerity - it is the most amazing, life-changing decision of my life and I would do it again with absolutely no hesitation.

How about some of you other post-op folks? Barbiedoll needs to hear from you! Were you afraid? Would you do it again? Let's help this lady out!

Gosh, I feel loved. :0)

Thank you so much. I go in the am to get Pre- Registered and get my blood work done. My financial lady called today, and told me how much $$$ to bring with me tomorrow. I was so relieved to know how much my co-pay was between me and hospital. Not as much as I imagined. I am truly blessed.

Oh, gosh, Mindy..

Its been hectic the last few days.. my anxiety levels are high, but Im still scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on May 9th 2012.

I had all my lab work done and my registration done today. My blood sugars have been good the past few mornings, and my diet has been lowered to 1200 calories daily.

Yes, I am so scared !! But everyone tells its going to be okay, and im going to recover well. So Im hopeful.

And yes, I have put it all in GODs hands, but I still scared. Lol

Barbie doll,

You're going to get through this. Someone once said, " if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it."

I'll be praying for you and all my sisters and brothers in this journey.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
