Stepped into the revision forum

May 09, 2015

It was nice to not be judged for wanting revision at 2 yrs out. I'm really trying to get this weight off and now on top of all of my other health issues (sleep apnea, high blood pressure, prediabetes, and now GERD and Fibromyalgia) Almost all of these are new since surgery because I never got to a healthy weight and the weight is taking it's toll on me. With the fibro I'm having a difficult time learning what kind of exercising I can do. My one doctor told me to do Tia Chi but there are no classes anywhere near me. I've looked everywhere in a 20 mile radius. I can't swim and am terrified of the water, don't even get my face wet when showering. I'm up to 202 lbs and need this revision. I need advice on exercises that isn't going to hurt me. I just need to be healthy. I will be 40 this year and don't want to die before I hit 50. I feel like this is a life and death situation. I mean when I had my surgery two years ago (wednesday the 13th is my surgiversary) I had slight high blood pressure and sleep apnea, now my sleep apnea is worse and I now need meds for my blood pressure, I'm prediabetic, I have GERD for the first time in my life and well the Fibro I can't blame on anyone or anything except bad genes. I am calling the hospital Monday to find out if the hospital that I LOVE does the revision. If not I will go back to the original doctor and hospital that I had my first surgery. Wish me luck everyone and thank you for letting me update you all. Thanks for sticking by me.
