Topic: RE: TMI - I'm a mess - spotting for 4 weeks
I know this post is a couple of days old but first let me say:  17 months = a LOT of blood built up in your lining which means you have a TON to shed!  You should NEVER, EVER go 17 months without a period... what were you thinking friend???  If you can't have a period on your own, it is recommended to take the hormones necessary to bring it on at least every six months if not every three!!  Wow.  But of course we don't like to do that, do we, so I do understand.

Did you get an appointment with your doctor, and if so, when is it?  I'm sure they will do an ultrasound to see what is going on in there.

Keep us posted, we want to know we have a healthy cyster.

Topic: RE: Surgery on Monday
Thank you all for your encouragement. I had my preop with my surgeon again and also with the surgical dept, and Im all set to go for Monday...it was a long day of labs and paperwork again. Oh just a quick question....Did any of you have to have a liver byopsy? My surgeon said he needed to do one on me and not to worry until he gets the results back! Kinda scary, but just wonderin if that was routine or what. Well Ill be really busy this weekend with family, school, and getting things ready for surgery... this weekend will fly by but oh how I cant wait to start my NEW LIFE!!!! Move on over Im joining the losers bench!

First, yes I've kept a quasi-journal on my blog. The link is in my siggy. But I only write when I feel like it so it's a little spotty.

Second, it sounds like your nerves are giving you plenty of reasons to back out of your surgery! There are always going to be a million things to do. But you know what? You need to be SELFISH for a little while and not feel bad about it. You need to take care of you before you can take can of anything (or anyone) else!

What I'm trying to say is that wls can be amazingly life-changing and it begins now. Welcome aboard this ride - it's so worth it!

Best luck to you on Monday. We'll be thinking of you.

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Your feelings are completely NORMAL! LOL. Things will get better, things will get done. I have (sorta) kept a journal. I blog on blogspot, I write things down, and have a list of goals I want to accomplish and am marking them off one by one. It is a great way to keep things in perspective. I also had two little girls at home (2 and 3) and things went so well that I didn't really feel like I couldn't do anything, other than lifting them of course! I was only gone one night from home and was back the next afternoon...you know I don't even think they really had time to miss me! LOL.  Best wishes for a swift recovery!!
