It's becoming real now...



Recommended Posts

Well I have just one visit with my regular doctor now and we will be submitting to insurance for approval for the sleeve. I have no doubts that this is what I want to do because I need to lose this weight and finally win this battle. I want to gain control over the hunger feelings. I am a bit nervous, scared and relieved all at once that this may finally be within my reach. Most of all I am grateful, grateful to have the opportunity to get the help I need and grateful for the encouragement that I've seen people on this site give. I am more of a lurker so far unless there has been something I can personally attest to in the pre op side. I look so forward to the day that I can be on the post op side to share photos and give others encouragement as well. ????

I HAD A COUPLE REALLY ROUGH MONTHS AFTER SURGERY, BUT ALL THAT IS A DISTANT MEMORY NOW AND I AM SO HAPPY, SO MUCH SMALLER, SO MUCH HEALTHIER, CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT! I AM MORE ACTIVE, KEEP MY HOUSE CLEANER, LOVE MYSELF MORE, LOVE OTHERS MORE, I THINK I'M A BETTER MOM TOO. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT I GOT MY AGRESSIVE/ASSERTIVENESS BACK FROM WHEN I WAS A YOUNG COCKY TEENAGER. ONLY WHEN NEEDED OF COURSE BUT I'M TRYING MY BEST TO BE NICE LOL. I THINK THAT HAS TO DO WITH KINDA COMING BACK OUT OF THE OBESITY SHELL. FOR SO MANY YEARS I FELT INVISIBLE AND KINDA WISHED I WAS. NOW I DON'T DREAD GOING TO THE STORE, GOING IN PUBLIC, AND I DON'T TURN MY INSECURITY INTO DISLIKE FOR OTHERS OR DISLIKE FOR ACTIVITIES. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION I COULD'VE MADE FOR MYSELF.

I'm so excited for you. I'm in the same boat. Love this site but have nothing to say just yet, waiting till I'm a pro at it. I have 2 more Nutrition classes to do, psych eval, and then my last appt with the Dr before they submit for approval. When is surgery What insurance do you have?

Congrats!!! It won't really be real until you try your first drink post op. As said in the earlier posts, the first week or two is rough and there's a lot of transition mentally, and physically. Don't let that dissuade you.

Focus on how life changing this is going to be and the improvements that you will experience.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
