Gastric Sleeve Coming Up 8/30/2016



Recommended Posts

I am beyond nervous and excited for the upcoming day. I have been counting down and been beyond prepared for this. I did 6 months of medically supervised classes. I finished my binder class which gives me all the diet plans and stuff for after surgery. But a part of me is so scared.

I'm scared this won't work. That my last resort for making myself health and now over weight will fail. Even if I follow everything to the letter. My best friend is having a gastric sleeve done right before me. But the horrible part of it is I'm worried she will get better results and I will resent her for it. Which I know I shouldn't because she's my best friend.

I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way. Before this point I lost weight I got down to 175 the lowest I have ever been. Then out of no where why I was eating right exercise 2 times a day it all came back and more. I'm now at 235. I count the days because I don't want to hurt all the time anymore. I want to be happy with my body and to be healthy. I'm getting married May of 2018 and I want to walk down The aisle in a fitted dress. Feeling great and happy. Being the perfect bride. I know I have to take it day by day but I'm a planner. I like knowing what will happen. And this, this is a big unknow for me. Has anyone else felt this way before. Any advice for me on how to get the negative thoughts out.

Mines 8/31/16 and I'm excited but so nervous with all the different postings. I just have to take the negatives out of my head and pray. I just don't want any complications. Pain I can handle

      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!

      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!!
