About marleigh's_mama
Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
I'm ready to get this started! What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times? I've been overweight since childhood and have battled my weight for as long as I can remember. I wasn't really ready to consider surgery since I saw it as "cheating". But, I realized that I am cheating myself of a life if I stay the way I am. I have done an overhaul on my life emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It is time to get this body to match the rest of me! I am a single parent and I want to be the BEST mom possible for my daughter and this surgery is going to help me get there!

3 Days Post-Op

by marleigh's_mama on 10-27-2013 at 12:43 PM
I'm sleeved! That's the good news.
Bad news...I'm still having trouble with gas pain and getting protein and liquid in. But, I've been taking GasX, Pepcid, Zofran and pain meds...getting there.
FUTURE SLEEVERS:
I don't think I really understood how much pain I would potentially be in. Some people don't experience much, but HOLY SMOKES! Just be prepared for 10/10 on the pain scale. At least, that's how it was for me. I was regretting surgery for a while.

2 days away! A lot of catching up!

by marleigh's_mama on 10-22-2013 at 12:13 PM
I know it has been too long since I have posted anything here! I have a TON to talk about.

Okay, so on September 30th, I scheduled my surgery for Nov. 12th with Dr. Kim at Victory Medical Center. Then, October 1st, I got a call saying my insurance wouldn't cover that center because it was out of network... I had to reschedule my surgery, change hospitals and change surgeons. I was incredibly stressed out that day! I had quit smoking 10 days before that and we started using a new

No More Marlboro!

by marleigh's_mama on 09-25-2013 at 12:22 PM
Okay...so It's only been 3 days, but this is the longest I've ever stopped smoking in 8 years! Today is day 4 and I'm feeling great. I'm a little dizzy and a little chest pain, but have discussed it with my doctor and he said that's kind of part of quitting. Each day gets easier. I thought about cigarettes all day for the first two days. Yesterday, I hardly though about them at all and today...no cravings so far! I'm proud of me!!!

Negative encounter...a little venting

by marleigh's_mama on 09-11-2013 at 11:08 AM
I am required by my doctor to quit smoking at least 1 month before my surgery. Not just stop smoking....NO nicotine. So, my brother has an electronic cigarette and said they have stuff without nicotine. I went to my corner gas station for my last pack of cigarettes and asked the guy what he though about the "e-cigs". He asked why and I explained that I was having elective surgery...he figured it out. He said, "Why surgery?? Have you tried exercise? That works really well!"

Not a reality yet

by marleigh's_mama on 09-10-2013 at 01:04 PM
Is this a test in patience or what? It has only been 2 weeks since I went in for my consultation, but it feels like it has been 2 months. I go for my psychological evaluation tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty confident about it. I have seen this psychiatrist before for other issues and we had talked about having the surgery earlier this year. She is also a colleague of the doctor I work for, so IF she charges me, I won't pay very much (BLESSING!). Then, my stress test is on the 19th.
