Hello, I have my consultation appt in 3 weeks. My brother had the surgery about 9 months ago and is my inspiration and guidance. I have thought about having WLS for years, but never had the nerve to follow through, even when he had his I thought, ooh, I dont think I could do that, but I have seen how he eats now and yes, I can do this. I know the road will be rough at times but I feel that I have reached a point of acceptance because now my questions are about what I can and cannot do, and what recovery is like after surgery rather than "am I doing the right thing" I have made significant life changes this year already and feel like I have become a different person, with all this extra weight and I feel like getting this fat suit off will help me feel like the real me. Which is question #1. I know there is an emotional component to the recovery and I want to be as prepared as possible for that so I can deal with it head on. Will my attitude of wanting to get the fat suit off help with the emotional recovery? Or ill I probably go through all that anyway? Maybe the severity will be less? and Question #2 for today is how do you take medications right after surgery if you are only allowed small sips? I hope that I can get off most of my medications but I realize it may take a little while before I can do that. Thank you all for your replies and for being here.
