MY EXPERINCE WITH MY WEIGHT LOST SURGERY
Oct 22, 2007
TODAY IS DAY SIX THAT I'VE HAD MY SURGERY. MY FIRST CHECK-UP WAS TODAY I LOST 11 POUNDS. THE WLS WAS WAT MORE PAINFUL THEN I THOUGH IT WOULD BE. FROM THE TIME I WOKE UP AFTER SURGERY I WAS IN PAIN. THE NG TUBE OH MY GOD. I COMPLAINED THAT IT WAS REALLY HURTING BUT MY NURSE KEEP TELLING ME IT WOULD BE OUT TOMMORROW. IT WAS SO PAINFUL THAT CRIED, I KEEP COMPLAINING ONCE MY VERY RUDE NURSE TOOK A LOOK AT IT SHE CALLED THE RESIDENT DR. TELLING HIM THAT IT HAD SLIPPED OUT ABOUT 5 INCHES, AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS SO PAINFUL. HE SAID HE COULDN'T PULL IT OUT UNTILL THE NEXT DAY ORDERS FROM THR DR. AFTER IT SLIPPED OUT IT FELT SO MUCH BETTER, BUT THE STOMACHE PAIN, OH GOD, IT WAS WORST FOR ME THEN HAVING MY ONE CHILD WITH A C- SECTION. THE POKING AND CHECKING MY BP, TEMP, AND FILLING ME WITH NEDDLES OF BLOOD THINNERS, DIDN'T HELP ANY. BESIDE ONE RUDE NURSE THE STAFF WAS GREAT, THEY WERE KIND AND PATIENT AND EVEN FUNNY. COMMING HOME WAS STILL PAINFUL. I CREID SO MANY TIMES ASKING GOD TO HEPL ME WITH THE PAIN, AND ALSO ASKING THE HELL DID I DO THIS. MY MOM HAS BEEN MY 24 HOUR NURSE SHE MAKES SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT WITH ME, SHE MAKES SURE I'M COMFORTABLE, AND AS HAPPY AS CAN BE. MY HUSBAND AND COUSIN, AND I CAN'T FORGET MY BIG BOY HE HAS HELPED ME OUT SO MUCH. TODAY THEY TOOK OUT THE JP DRAIN I WAS SO NERVOUS BECAUSE MY PAIN WAS STARTING TO SUBSIDE A LITTLE, AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO COME BACK. BUT IT WASN'T PAINFUL, IT WAS JUSTA WEIRD FEELING, BUT ONCE IT WAS OUT I FELL LIKE A WHOLE NEW PERSON. A LITTLE PAIN STILL BUT NOTHING LIKE DAYS AGO. KNOW THE PAIN WILL GO AWAY AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WALK NORMAL AGAIN, TO GET OUT OF BED NORMAL TO SIT NORMAL.
TOMMORROW'S THE BIG DAY .......BUT I DON'T KNOW?

TOMMORROW'S THE BIG DAY AND I'M REALLY SCARED. I EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT IT'S NORMAL TO BE NERVOUS BUT I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN IS THIS EXTREAM, COULDN'T I HAVE DONE IT WITH WLS I MEAN I DID IT BEFORE. BUT I KNOW IT'S LIKE THE BEST THING FOR ME AND SOME MANY PEOPLE, SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SO CONFUSED. TONIGHT MY SON CRIED SO HARD TELLING ME HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE AND GO TO THE HOSIPTAL. I THINK ABOUT NOT COMMING BACK HOME TO MY FAMILY, AND IT'S MAKING ME WORIED. I STILL HAVEN'T EVEN PACKE DMY BAGS, I DON'T HAVE TO BE THER UNTILL 9:30AM SO I STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.

SHE'S AWAY AT COLLEGE,AND SHE LEFT HER WINTER THINGS HOME,SO I WASHED AND FOLDING THEM FOR HER.SHE HAS SO MANY CLOTHES, AND WHILE I WAS FOLDING THEM I'M LOKKING AT THE CLOTHES LIKE THEIR SO DAMN TINY. SO I LOOKED AT THE SIZE, 6, 8,THEN I THOYGHT THAT WAS THE SIZE I WANTED TO BE BUT I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE MY 24 BODY FITTING INTO THOSE CLOTHES, SO I LOOKED AT PEOPLE'S PROFILE THAT WAS A YEAR + OUT AND I SEEN THE CHANGE, BUT I STILL CAN'T BELIVE THAT IT COULD BE ME.
I WAS READING SOMEONE ELSE'S PROFILE AND THEY WERE UPSET BECAUSE THEIR SISTER WASN'T REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HER DESICION TO HAVE WLS. I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT MY SISTER IS SUPPORTIVE OF ME. SHE'S ALMOST AS EXCITED AS I AM.(SHE'S SO CUTE) SHE TRIED TO GET HOME THE WEEK OF MY SURGERY, SHE CULDN'T SO SHE'LL BE HERE AT THE END OF THE MONTH. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SHOPPING WITH MY LITTLE SISTER, NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHER TIME WHERE WE'LL GO TO LANE BRAYANT,SHE'LL HELP ME PICK OUT CLOTHES AND THEN ANY OTHER NORMAL SIZE STORE SO SHE COULD SHOP.WE'LL ACTUALY BE ABLE TO SHOP TOGETHER.

Well for the last two weeks I have been feeling like I was losing my mind, waiting for a return call from my Dr's office. When I did recieve a call my status was still the same(somebody's not doing their job) All I could think about was getting my surgery date, and how pissed of at the(stupid staff) I was. When I say I was upset I truely mean it (for those of you who know me personaly you know how I am when I'm upset) I started wanting to be alone, (and that's not me) I wanted to sulk in my own misery, and cuss out the Dr's office, the insurance company, and my PCP in my own space.(I know it's sounds crazy to me now too) I was snappy with everyone, and a smile from me was very hard to find. The only company I wanted was OH, and even then all I wanted to do as talk about my situation, and hear everyone tell me how it shouldn't be taking so long, and how fast their file was submitted, too their insurance company.
Then while I was on my profile, I looked over at my goal(only the second time since I put it up) To be paitent while wating for approval(in life period) I wasn't even attempting to try and be patient. Then I wrote a message to one of my OH friends, and the things she wrote me back, really let me know that I wasn't tripping. She said that she and others went through some of my same feelings. That's when I thought how silly it was for me to be so angry, at something that I couldn't control. So now I'm patiently waiting for my approval, and it feels so much better.
clap for me
