Well, I did it! I'm sleeved.
Dec 22, 2011
Yesterday morning I did something I've bee working towards for over 2 years. I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. I was nervous, excited and anxious as I showed up to the hospital but I so was ready to do this and get it done. The hospital nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Jossart were all amazing. I'm home now, on quite a bit of meds but feeling good. Excited about my decision to really go through with it and still hoping and praying to be one of those "before and after" pics on the home page.I have one friend who's comments kind of hurt my feelings today but not sure if I'm just extra emotional because of the meds or if I'm just extra emotional because her true feelings are coming through. Being the role of 'fat friend' will no longer apply to me so how exactly will I fit in? Y'know? I have amazing other friends that support me in every way but this one friend I've had since I was 12 so it's a little disappointing.
My kids have been great.Very interested in seeing my 'owies' and my 6 year old who wants to help do whatever he can to make me feel better. My husband and Mom are awesome too. I feel like I'm rambling but in general, with the exception of my one friend, all is good.
