In what ways did surgery change y'all life?

Well, I got a new healthier body, a better job, my 1st real relationship.

I used to be a complete introvert, I'm now an extroverted introvert. :-P

You would have never caught me on camera pre-surgery.

AND best of all, I'm no longer going to be "one of the first to go" when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. (Watch the movie Zombieland to get the reference.)

Well, I'm not too far out yet, only two months, but yesterday I attended my first yoga class! I couldn't get into all the positions due to my bad knees, but I'm proud of how well I kept up. I'm also exercising on my own at least an hour each day. None of this would have been possible not too long ago.

Also I have this bean bag chair that I was always afraid to sit on in fear I wouldn't be able to get up from it unassisted. But now I can!

I think "can" has become my new favorite word! ????

Awesome awesome awesome, I'm nervous and excited to see the changes that come Iv always been overweight so it would be strange for me. Did your guys surgery boost your confidence and I'm currently on anti anxiety and depressant pills did it help at all emotionally! And yes zombie land is one of my favs!?!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
