Right Place @ The Right Time.



Recommended Posts

Twice in the last week. I have had a funny encounter. I just so happened to be walking past two separate converstations. (one at work, one at wal-mart) Funny thing was, they were people who were interested in having gastric bypass and had questions, but didn't know who to talk to. I stopped and talked to both of them. The lady at wal mart is already scheduled. She was very nervous, but after I talked to her on the phone, she felt much better. The lady at work has not began the process, but she will soon. Go figure. God put us in certain places at certain times for certain reasons.

I am a field rep so I'm all over the place for work, yesterday a co worker had heard I had the surgery and really wants it. She was so sweet and more worried of asking me/offending me but I'm glad she did she had really good questions and will let me when she has her 1st appt. I felt kinda honored she asked and would open up to her struggles with me. We are placed at the right time to encourage.

When I started my job last year, my boss was in the process of getting approval. She helped me with all the paper work and I was able to preview the whole process through her experience beforehand. We ended up having surgery a little over a month apart and now we trade recipes/products. It was nice to have someone in the same boat as you at work.

It really is. I'm going to a seminar with my coworker next month. It's at the same hospital I had mine, too.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
