I'm Saying Goodbye...



Recommended Posts

:rose:I am saying goodbye to the old me this weekend. Monday is a new chapter for me and I cannot wait. I have an apt with my future on Monday I have to be at the hospital at 8:45 for a 9:45 surgery.

When I got my date way back at the beginning of the month I thought for sure somehthing would prevent this from happening. But to my suprise from the day 1 consult all thru my appts and insurance approval (NY state employee Empire Plan) it has been smooth sailing. I have said my goodbyes to food that I love and bid them a fond farewell. I do not want to be the person I am on the outside anymore and things had to change.

The last few days I have told pretty much everybody I work with. Which is a small number as I work in a adult home. I don't have regrets telling them. 99% were supportive, 1 known backstabber and the funny thing is I DO NOT CARE. I have spun their rude comments into a little joke with others... If I cared I would of never told people.

So I suppose after this weekend I will be posting more on the post-op forum. I have to say this forum has been the most informative tool I have found. Not to say others have not been informative, but there is so much and things cross your mind you forgot to ask, dont ask or even wonder, and guess what.. its here in the forum. Some where at sometime someone has asked the question you have had.

Good luck to my fellow September Samuri.. and October bystanders your time will come..:mellow::lol::):cool2:

You have the right attitude, and that's the key. Just know that you can work through the hard parts and come out a new you! Best of luck.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
