11 months post op - WOW!



Recommended Posts

I haven't posted much but had my daughter take pics and WOW is all I can say!

At my top weight I was 210.....at 5'2" that is a lot. I got down to 196 on surgery day - 6/16/14. I had a pretty rough 6 weeks right after surgery but once I got on the proper medication the journey got pretty easy.

Now 11 months post op and down to 129 it has been an awesome adventure. So pleased I had the sleeve done.

I also show horses (and have for years), after I had lost about 75 pounds I was at a show, the judge was someone I showed with, she didn't recognize me and asked my trainer who that was riding my horse! Too funny.

Congrats! You look awesome and should be proud of your accomplishment! ❤ I'm at goal too and I'm learning that most people don't recognize me vs. are ignoring me! It's a weird concept to grasp. I don't think I look different but then when I look at before/after pics - wow!

Sooo close to my goal...........but if my body is happy at this weight - I will be ok with that!

I will be 60 this year and wish I would have done the surgery years ago.

Wow. That's amazing progress. I started at 192 and I'm 5'0. I sure hope I get there when I'm at 11 months. Congratulations on your great success!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
