My Friend's Weird Rumour About WLS

So, ever since I've been planning to have bariatric surgery, a friend of mine told me not to do it - that it would make my head shrink like in the movie Beetlejuice. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's this scene:

I've shown her before and after pictures, I've pointed out the fact that my surgeon's office publishes a calendar of before and after pictures. I've even asked my surgeon about this crazy rumour, even knowing and prefacing the question with the fact that I know that it is a rumour. Yet, she continues to persist with this craziness.

I have heard the opposite where they call it "lollipop head" meaning your head looks bigger with the smaller body.

I guess that could be the case. After all, when the circumference of your waist stops being equal to the height of the Girl Scout who rang your doorbell to sell you Cookies, I guess some things might look bigger in proportion.

      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!!
