Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I had to drop off a prescription today while on my lunch break. I walk up to the automatic doors and darn near run face first into the glass. It's not one of the pressure pad type doors, rather it is the black eye above the door type. I take a step back and wait for it to open and nothing happens. I have to wave my hands for a moment before it recognizes anyone is there!

I'm sure that it was just dirty, but for a moment I thought that I was too small to register!

Haha! That was a funny visual for all of us at least!

One for real issue I've had with doors now that I am smaller is some of the ones you have to push/pull open yourself are hard to get open without as much body weight to throw around. Last week it was windy outside and I was trying to leave the building and between the weight of the door and the wind, I almost couldn't get it open!

This has happened to me more when looking for myself on surveillance cameras. I also recently went to Disney World and couldn't find myself on the picture screens at Splash Mountain.

      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!!
