I've gotten approved for my surgery and now im so afraid I'm a single mom of 3, and i don't want to leave them behind



Recommended Posts

I'm also a single mom. Two days pre-op I spent about 8 hours bawling while writing my 'if you're reading this then something went very wrong' letters....I have since shredded them cuz, well, drama much??? In reality the chances of me dying from complication from obesity are much higher than dying from surgery....but you couldn't tell me that on that night!!! It's scary, but chances are you'll do fine and be a healthier, happier mom for your babies :). Good luck!!!

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 238

I am scared. I don't have a good track rec under the knife or anesthesia. Seems like something always happens. I am a worrier and though I know statistics, they haven't been on my side before. I can only beg God to bring me through Surg and have no post-Surg life endangering complications..... And I can ask for prayers from all of u, real quick. I know u all are very busy, but I hope u can. :-) God Bless.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
