Well...it seems like it was so long ago...i've adapted nicely to my new lifestyle...most days are easy and some days are harder than others, but i've always been one that adapted to change pretty smoothly...i love living life now...i feel so much lighter in more ways than one...knowing that food no longer owns me is a huge burden gone from my life....if i never lost another pound this experience would have still been completely worth it...but i know i'm only beginning and the weight will continue to go down....a few of my NSV's are no longer having to use a shower chair, being able to shave my own legs again, having a regular menstrual cycle, being able to go somewhere without worrying that my body will give out, no longer being food's prisoner, going from a tight 32W jean to a comfortable 28W, going shopping in my own closet and having people compliment my "new" clothes, being an inspiration to others (ME..an inspiration...who'd have thought), awesome, and i do mean AWESOME sex with my new hubby!!!  Also, to date i haven't eaten anything that didn't agree so much other than pork chops and some, not all, dairy products...i have never thrown up since my surgery..came close once or twice but never actually went through with it....anyway, i love my sleeve and if you are considering surgery...DO IT!!! it's life changing and you will not regret it...unless it's just for 1/2 a second but that passes

2 weeks out with regret
on August 11, 2009 4:11 pm
Yep, that's right...I totally regret not doing this SOONER!!!!

Life couldn't be sweeter...my sleeve and I have been dating just 2 weeks today but I'm falling in love and I mean falling IN LOVE with this thing!  I've lost 32 pounds since surgery and a total of 58 pounds since July 11th.  I went in to have a RNY on July 28th and woke up a VSGer...I knew virtually nothing about VSG other than it was an option I passed on cause I was set on the bypass and knew for sure I didn't wanna lapband...but my surgeon couldn't do the RNY do to my liver still being too large....so I came home sleeved and got to researching.  I have to say that I'm glad that as I went into surgery I prayed for God's will to be done and feel my sleeve is actually a blessing.  After being here and there doing my research I think I actually love the sleeve way more and kinda wished my surgeon woulda pushed it more for me than letting me be set on the RNY.  I think the sleeve is more natural and my guts are still in tact and I can live closer to a normal lifestyle when it comes to food.  The first week was pretty rough but that's normal and I've been feeling great for about the past 5 days.  I can't wait to see the new me and it's funny that I feel small at 359 pounds...but coming from 417...hey, that is small(er)...if you are pre-op and debating about having surgery or your surgery options....DO IT!!!  I'm far away from my goal and I'm still on oxygen and still on CPAP but I can already tell you that this is the BEST decision I ever made...besides marrying my husband (who gave up his honeymoon so I could have surgery 10 days after we married)....cause for the first time in a long time...I didn't feel like I was gonna die when I walked from my home to my car and my belly didn't rub the steering wheel either!  I'm ready for all the firsts that are soon coming.  Bring it on!  Tomorrow is going to be my first day back at work..woohoo...and my first day of soft foods...woohoo again...I thought I would be more excited about eating tomorrow cause 2 weeks ago I was dreading liquids but it went by so quick and I haven't ate in soooo long...I'm not as excited about it anymore and I guess that's a good thing....if you have made it this far...thanks for reading and thank all you guys for being here...I couldn't have made it this far in my "new relationship" without you especially considering me and the VSG was a BLIND date!!!

well guys...i went for surgery on july28th...it was a success eventhough they were not able to do a gastric bypass which was the procedure i had chosen....once the doctor got in and seen how large my liver was he opted to the sleeve...i'm okay with that...he states that if i don't get the results i want that he can always do a revision to a bypass.  i think i will be satisfied with my sleeve though and he seems to think the same.  surgery was a breeze and i haven't had any problems...i'm in a small amount of pain but nothing major...this was much better than i had prepared for mentally....i'm sip, sip, sipping and walk, walk, walking...which really helps relieve the gas pressure i've been having....i'm excited and happy and i know this is just the beginning of a long journey.

well, tomorrow is the BIG day...my surgery was scheduled for 3:30pm and I was to arrive at 1:30pm....I received a call this morning from the hospital and due to some problems with a couple of other patients that were scheduled for surgery tomorrow, they have changed my time to 10:45am and I now have to be there at 8:30am.....I think it's actually better to have the earlier time...I was concerned about not being able to drink anything and having surgery so late in the day....also my nerves will not suffer as much by getting up and going to have surgery as opposed to waiting around all day....keep me in your prayers and next time I post I will officially be post op and looking for my own spot on the losers bench!
