    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Gallbladder issue
on May 3, 2009 7:03 pm
So, here it is 25 days pre op and my gallbladder is finally totally giving out on me. I have been dealing with gallstones since the end of Jan. But have been controlling it with my diet. (great way to lose weight, gallbladder disease)  Now, I am having attacks for no reason and more frequently. I called Dr. W's office over the weekend and Dr. Brooks said he was leaving a message for Dr. W and that I need to call him on Monday. That we need to find out if Dr. W can move up my bypass and do both the gallbladder and bypass at the same time (as already planned) or if I am going to have to have my gallbladder out this week and then the bypass on the 28th. I really don't want to have 2 separate surgeries, but I can't take the gallbladder attacks any longer. Wouldn't it be nice to have the bypass sooner than expected!!!!

My Story

I don't even know where to begin "MY STORY".  I think that mine is like most everyone else on this site.  I have been obese my whole life and I have let my weight stop me from doing all the things I have wanted to do in life.  Now at my heaviest I am ready to take control and I feel the only way to do that is with the RNY.  I think my biggest fear of having the surgery is that it seems to good to be true.  I read all the success stories and see everyone's fabulous before and after pictures and I think "Is this for real, could this really happen for me?"  I am a single mother of a wonderful 2 year old who deserves to have a mommy who is the best that she can be, so not only is this for me but for my daughter.  So I am keeping my story short, I have read many profiles and I cry with most that I read, feeling the pain that you all feel and also realizing that I am not alone and that most everyone has had the same expierences as I.  Just the everyday things that most people wouldn't even think about, like fitting in a booth at a resturaunt, fitting comfortably in the movie theater seat, even just being able to go to any store to buy clothes. So I wait patiently for August 22, 2007, My surgery date.
