Saving My Life

Friday it will be 8 months ago, Dr M walked into the waiting room w Dr. G and said Mr and Mrs Pojer surgery went great. Katie did wonderful she has a tight sleeve, thank god she had surgery the fat around her liver would mean diabetes and insulin by 31, shes a young woman with her entire life ahead of her.

Eight months ago, I was coming off an operating table groggy and out of it. All I remember is the anesthesiologist going Katie sweetie its over, Katie its over wake up.. As I was moved off the table I breathed in, I looked around disoriented from the medication.

I just wanted my Mom or Dad or Aunt who has an RNY. I just wanted someone from my family. I was in such pain and the nausea started to hit, I propped myself up and tried to vomit. The agony the nurses told me to breathe. I did not want to breathe, I just wanted my Mom.

After realizing what I just did I was in and out of  sleepy for a bit and finally I saw my parents. I was like how did it go, how did it go am I gonna be thin. My dad of course blurts out look pictures from your surgery... LOL the pictures they gave. My Mom was concerned w my vitals and pain control I was like where are my glasses???

Well eight months later I have to say I SAVED MY LIFE! EMBRACED MY LIFE.

I am a different person WLS saved me.
