Just musing
Well, I maintained for a whole week
without weighing my food or counting calories...what do they say, a small non scales victory ... Whoop whoop
From my appointment on Thursday, I now know the little alien just under my rib cage is not hernia scaring, but my port. Nowhere near (well almost two inches away from) where it used to be. I didn't realise they could move so far
even I am still learning. It's a little bit freaky, I can even feel the tubing to the port under my skin
I lay there at night in bed, thinking just how lucky I am to be a year down the line and to have achieved so much with the help of my little silicone friend.
It's marvellous to think of the opportunities so many of us have been given through wls
for anyone feeling scared or anxious now about embarking on a journey, where for a bit of effort, so much can be achieved ... I would say weigh up this option against the potential adverse effects of remaining overweight or continuing to gain and it's definitely worth the risk!
I lost my weight, on my choice, before any co-morbidities struck me ... Right decision. When I phoned up my travel insurance provider this week they said that although I was previously morbidly obese but chose elective surgery ... I was still covered insurance-wise as normal and at no extra cost BECAUSE I had not been recommended to have surgery by my GP and was not on medication .... Another nsv ... Two in a week, I am on a roll!
Update next weekend, after my op, just in case any banders are interested in finding out how having the band affects what is done on the operating table, or shortly after ...
Just the ONE please
