Well today I found out that my funding has been approved at first I was over the moon. This lasted for all of 10 mins, the feeling of oh **** what have i got myself into now sprung into my mind. I know why i am doing this and full y understand the whys and the wherefores of this op its just its such a life changing experience how will i cope, what if something goes wrong, what if i die, what if it deosnt work the list of what ifs are endlesss.
In a way i was hoping funding wasn't going to be as straight forward as it has been because then the dcission to not have the op would have been taken away from me.

Before you all start gasping and foaming at the mouth, this didnt last very long. I know my relationship with food is a complex one (and not up for disscussion on here) and one that I am going to miss, but I can't keep going on like this I am 34years old, have arthritus in my back on incapacity benefit and don't want to be here i want to be at work and no one will take my back seriously while i am this weight as there is mixed opinion on the cause of my back problem, weight being one of them.

So heres to anew year and a new me, heres to wearing the type of clothes I want to, being able to play with my 2 beautiful girls.

So my next post will be when I have some news fro you all probably when I have my scan on my gall bladder on news years eve.

tatta for now.

visit from the doc and day 2 of my stay in hospital

I was vaguely aware of seeing Mr Khan standing next to my bed, "Hello Terri" I just grinned at him like a loon and nodded. "There was a bit of a problem during surgery we couldn't take your Gall Bladder out as there were a few complications" My heart was pounding so hard in my head I couldn't focus on anything else. "There was some oozing around my spleen and had an unexpected bleed and we were on the verge of opening you up" "Did you do the Bypass?" he chuckled"Yes...

The Surgery

Posted 26th May, 2009 at 12:02 PM by tesmaralda (My Gastric Bypass Journey)

We had to sit and wait as Mr Y had gone walk about as I was Arthurs last job before he went off for the day. My tattoos suddenly became talk of the little anti room. Arthur went to find Mr Y and then I was shown into the theatre, it was quiet basic not much clutter and there was my little black bed in the middle of it. I was about to lie down when there was no pillow. Mr Y created uproar they found me a pillow - well a blanket rolled up in a pillow case, to say Mr Y was not happy was an understatement....

My 1st night on Ward 11

Posted 23rd May, 2009 at 08:40 PM by tesmaralda (My Gastric Bypass Journey)

Well I took my ear plugs in as recommended but they were no use as they kept falling out. I managed to get comfy and just as i was going into a lovely deep sleep I was woken by the Shouts of nurse nurse coming from the bed next to me - before I had chance to sit up and see there was the most horrendous bone shuddering THUD, there is nothing that will ever describe that noise. My Neighbour was still shouting "Nurse, Nurse Ethel is out of bed". Someting you need to understand about ethel...
