- Today marks the 1 year anniversary for me. I'm down from 224 all time, 217 pre-surgical weight to a beautiful 131. Went to my 1 year appt on Monday and my surgeon confirmed that since I've been this weight for around 3 months, this is my new...
- Hi everyone, just checking in. I haven't been on here it a bit, sorry I haven't been around to support everyone. I'll do better, promise. I have my 9 month check-up Thursday with my GP. I can't believe it's been 9 months already. I started out at...
- After feeling light headed for about a week and a half, I called my PCP, conclusion - low blood pressure. I'm finally off all meds associated with my excess weight. You can't (or maybe you can) imagine how happy I was to hear the words, "stop...
- I had my 3 month post op with my PC today. Talk about an awesome appt. My A1C is 5.6, blood pressure a cool 120/70 and ALL of my vitamin levels are normal. She really thought about taking me off the blood pressure med but opted to keep me on them...
- Is it me or do a lot of newbies lately get easily offended when they ask for help, suggestions or input and don't get the response they want? It really makes me mad when you offer help and they get pi**y. I don't/won't lie or sugar coat anything....
- I had my 2 month appt with my surgeon today. As I sat in the room waiting for him to arrive I had a chance to really stop and think. I am so in love with life again it almost makes me cry. I look forward to things again, even the dreaded...
- Went for my first post-op appt today. Including the 2 weeks since surgery and the 2 weeks of protein shakes before that I'm down 22 pds. OMG, not only didn't I see that coming but knowing that it's gone for good is such an overwhelming feeling. ...
- Hello my friends. Finally got back home last night after my surgery on tuesday. Had a couple of minor complications to overxome before i could break out of the joint. They found and repaired a hiatal hernia and i delveloped surgical iliac in my...
- I was originally scheduled for 11:45 am tomorrow. They called tonight to tell me my surgeon moved me up to 7:30 am. I report at 6:00 and I'm a bundle of nerves. I just talked to my Aunt who had an Intestinal Bypass 30 years ago, wow were things...
- Had my final appt with the surgeon today. Everything is great as far as all the pre-testing. He's so positive and easy going, much like me. I'm feeling very good about this whole thing. Tuesday can't get here soon enough. One more day of work,...
- Day 2 of pre-op liquids. They aren't the problem. Yesterday morning I woke up with a nasty head cold and it's making me miserable. Head pounding, sinus's stuffed, throat sore and scratchy. Add to that the liquids and I'm feeling just plain...
- I'm wondering if anyone knows what the rules are for using a FSA for protein shakes. Can you pay with the card if you have a prescription from your doctor because they are essential to your nutritional needs after GBS? I've tried finding a clear...
- It's now official, I got my date today. March 18th it is and I couldn't be more excited. That's my emotion today, I know as it gets closer a whole batch of others will visit me, but I''m reveling in this as long as I can. Couldn't have asked for...
- The surgeons office called today to verify that I've done everything I need to do. Now I wait for the scheduling department to call me with a date. I feel like with every call my nerves and emotions amp up another level.I do have a funny to share....
- Sitting in the waiting room waiting for my pulmonary clearance appointment and I received the call from my surgeons office, they have my insurance approval!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think hearing that would leave me so emotional. I still have a stress...
