I AM HALF THE WOMAN I USED TO BE!!!
Wow, we seem to have a lot in common. I looked into wls way back when I was eighteen and the doctor back then told me he would never do that type of surgery on someone so young. Then back in 2006 I tried again, but my insurance made me do the six month weight loss. I was very sucessful with that and thought, this is a piece of cake, and I don’t need surgery. I would have done a RNY. Needless to say I gained all that weight back plus. So now here I am and I truly believe this is the right surgery for me. I'm so glad I didn’t have one of those other surgeries and having to be doing a revision like I see so many others doing.
I understand about how you feel with your children. My son is waiting to see how I do with this surgery, and then he wants to have one also. Thanks for the advice about the taste buds changing. Did you find that you started to like flavors that you before hated or only added to your lists of dislikes?
I had a hysterectomy in October that was complicated and extremely painful. I was bedbound for three weeks, so I am hoping this surgery is not as bad! I wish you nothing but good for your upcoming surgery and hope to continue to pull from your knowledge on the ds. Thanks
Thank you for the well wishes!! I am truly amazed at how nice and supportive everyone on here has been! I thought I might get a comment from one or two people, but the out pouring of encouragement and friendship has totally humbled me.
Thanks for saving me that seat because I plan on sitting on it in 11days 11hrs 47min!!! But who’s counting….
My babies are still young (9 year old son and an almost 5 year old daughter). I am so afra.id that my poor eatting habits have rubbed off on my children, I DON'T want this life for them.
I have 21 days left. I have viewed this week as my last week of being able to eat what I like. I am not going to go out and eat a box of Twinkies or anything, but to be able to enjoy pizza or whatever. This weekend I start the pre-op diet and so things will be changing.
