What am I feeling?

Aug 11, 2014

I am 5 days post op and  for all the "mental preparation" I did this is not what I expected. I read so much about mourning food, about being angry at family for eating in front of me, about cravings, etc.  I may still have to experience these I am not sure but so far I just seem to be lacking any emotions. I feel like I shut down. It may be too soon post op for things to start happening  but I am back home and was kinda waiting for feelings and emotions to deal with them. Nothing. I am going thru the motions of what I was told to do. My mom has been helping which has been a Godsent and I have just been resting. Is this still the effect of the anesthesia? LOL   I am not so relaxed a person normally. Of course being the worrier that I am..... I am wondering if everything will come to me stronger, if it just building up... I will wait and see I suppose. 

On this my first blog post  I would like to acknowledge the excellent excellent care I received in Mexicali with Dr Wilhelmy and staff.  He is a very  nice man, made me feel safe and I knew he would take good care of me. I had been  in Mexicali at Almatar hospital before when my mom had her surgery with Dr. Aceves and can honestly say the services and care I received was just as outstanding  as when we where there before.  I am very impressed by this group and feel lucky we found them and can call them our doctors.  I had never received this level of care before at a hospital, the hospital itself is spotless and everyone so attentive .  It was nice to see Dr Campos, Ernesto,  Yolanda and Carla once again.  While there my mom got a check up and we saw her sleeve approx one year post op. Really cool, really tiny.   I am so happy and lucky that they have continued with the wonderful work they do. Thank you Dr Wilhelmy!
