I’m having my surgery at Memorial in May. I wanted to know if you can tell me if they provide private recovery rooms after surgery? I’ve heard some hospitals have you sharing rooms with other Bariatric patients.

Hey BeckyVSG2b! I did have a private room after surgery. Which doctor is doing your surgery? I have a REALLY great experience with Dr. Abbas at Memorial, all of the nurses after the surgery were GREAT too! I am sure you will do very well! Good luck and let me know if you have any questions at all!

How was your surgery and recovery ? How do you feel now ? I'm still on the fence trying to decide .

Jamieohh,

It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wish I would have done it earlier! My surgery and recovery went GREAT! I am still losing weight and I actually have energy to do things! What in particular has you on the fence?

I think the recovery - reading a lot about the struggles a lot of people have faced along the way - and then the whole " I can only eat 4 bites of food " thing freaks me out . I truly am terrified of complications too.

It is very difficult to adjust to not being able to eat the same things you used to eat but the harder part for me is not being able to eat the same amount of food. I stuck to the pre-op diet very strictly and I just told myself that I HAD to have the surgery because it will prevent me from overeating my way to being obese. If you REALLY want to lose weight, you will adapt to these changes better. Good luck with your decision!

      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.
