One Year Surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

Hello every one! Last year today, I was wheeled into Dr Ortiz's OR at OCC in Tijuana. Best choice I ever made for myself. I am under the goal the nutritionist sent for me and 1.5 pounds away from my original goal of 100 pounds lost. Too bad I couldn't get rid of that last pound for today!

I even was able to buy this new tunic in size small, I can't even believe that's a thing I can do now!

I won't lie, thus far my journey has been easy. I eat what I want, in small quantities and don't have to exercise every day and the weight has been coming off consistently and without worry (but I'm pretty laid back regardless). I have excess skin and need to focus on tightening it :)

Stats:

Height: 5'6

Starting weight: 260

Surgery weight: 245

Nutritionists Goal: 166

Current weight: 161.5

My initial goal: 160

Yay!post-179538-14158245953521_thumb.jpg post-179538-14158246065803_thumb.jpg post-179538-14158246342874_thumb.jpg

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
