1 Month After

Jan 17, 2011

So I am 1month out and I am feeling good. I have lost about 30lbs. I am starting to fit in clothes that didn't fit anymore. That is a great feeling. I can do more things with out getting tired. I am still getting use to not eating so fast. I know that I made the right decision to get this surgery. I am happy that I haven't had to many complications the only major problem is that I developed a allergic reaction to the glue that they use to close my incisions. So I had big rash around them and even on my neck and forehead but they are getting better.

6DAYS POST OP

Dec 22, 2010

So I had my post op visit today with my doctor and it went great. My surgery went well still have some pain but I am feeling better. They took out the tubing today and it was a little painful but I was able to tolerated it. I had been feeling a little nauseous the past two days but today it hasn't been that bad. I am having trouble drinking all my fluids. It is a little hard with Christmas few days away and not being able to eat. I am not hungry but I do crave the food when I see my family eat.I know that it will all get better but it is still hard.

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Dec 14, 2010

So i decide to go with my surgeons suggestion and have the VSG. I can't wait. One more day!!!!!!!!! I believe that I am making the right decision because in the long run it might be better for me. I am on my liquid diet and everything smells wonderful. I could eat anything right now. I am so excited and a little scared at the same time. I know that I will be healthier and can't wait to be able to play with my daughter at the play ground and not feel embarrassed.

CHANGE OF MIND.

Dec 09, 2010

So had my pre-op appt yesterday with my doctor and now I am confused about my surgery. Dr Burch recommends for me to have the gastric sleeve instead of the RNY due to my family history of stomach cancer. My dad was DX with stomach cancer about two yrs ago (which he is doing great now) and we belive my dads mom died from the same thing He says that because everything right now is fine with me but if when I get older it will be really hard for me to get screen for stomach cancer. So now I don't know what to do. I am afraid of the sleeve because I know that I am a big sweet eater and that is why I had chosen the RNY. I know that the sleeve will probably be the safest way to go but I am just scared.

Trouble Sleeping

Nov 29, 2010

So last night all I could think of is my surgery. I stayed up late reading a lot of the messages on the forums and when I went to bed I couldn't help but start thinking about all I read. I don't know if it is a good idea to read so much before because it seems to make me more nervous about the surgery.
