Like I just became I do believe for me and I have to say that because I've said in the past and it's turned into something else like Ozempic and those I think if it works for someone amazing great for you. For me it didn't and it was such a band-aid for me that when I went off it I got like ravenous starving.
I didn't do maybe enough therapy or things I need to do to change my behaviors during that time and I got a lot bigger.
So then I was on, I was like, okay, I've tried everything. Right. Every single thing in the book, what haven't I tried? And I did come across on TikTok, like bariatric TikTok surgery, like weight loss surgery. And I was like, oh, I could never while I have like this following and I'm living this life, like maybe in like 10 years if I'm, or a few years or whenever I'm less relevant, I'll do it.
And I just think that day was like, let me inquire. Like, I don't care. Right. Literally that next because that that next morning I called my back surgeon who connected me with a surgeon that does bariatric surgery. And what is bariatric surgery? Yes. So bariatric surgery is like a term of it's weight loss surgery, but there's different types. Okay.
And what I would see, what I feel like is most common and what I would see on TikTok, the only one I would see mostly was the sleeve, the gastric sleeve. Right. Which is the only thing I was looking at because I was just seeing, oh, the recovery is easy. It's not that big a deal. And maybe I'll do that. When I called my surgeon, I thought it was interesting because, well, who became my surgeon?
He said, I explained the binge eating. I explained everything I was going through. And he's like, you can't do the sleeve. And I'm like, why? That's the only thing I would do. I guess I'm not doing this then. And he was like, basically, the sleeve is where they cut out 80% of your stomach. It's like a pretty quick surgery compared to some of the other ones.
And if you are a binge eater, an emotional eater, if you eat a lot and you continue that behavior... Even though it's harder because your stomach smaller. It's a real thing. It's not a myth that you could stretch your stomach back.
Right. So they're like not even a lot of people go back and have to get a revision surgery or something else or go on Ozempic or any of those things after because it didn't work for them. And he was like, this isn't going to work for you. And I was like, why would I do something that he's telling me isn't going to work? Mm hmm. So it's like, what's the alternative? There's also the bypass.
So again, this is all under bariatric surgery. What he told me is that there was a brand, a new surgery, a newer surgery, which is what I did. And what everyone online, of course, at this point, everyone's like, OK, well, she did one of the shots or she did the sleeve or something like no one guessed this because it's not a known thing.
So it's called Sadie, which is a very long name, but it's like the acronym is Sadie, which I would say is a mix of both of those surgeries.
they cut out 80 of the stomach they move around the intestines i also was you know got with with my health issues got ended up having a fatty liver so um they actually had to like hold up the liver during that too because it could be dangerous and why even talking about this would i think that the recovery would be so simple is insane but i was told that how was the recovery i brutal
the the worst thing of my life like I I did the surgery he did tell me and and it's most I can't blame him because it's what most people I had a rarer situation I just reacted differently that's the point like this is my journey everyone reacts differently to everything right um and I did I did the surgery.
He said I would be out of the hospital in a day and that in five days I could travel and like go back to my work schedule. I couldn't leave the hospital. I couldn't swallow water. I was like projectile vomiting. Like I was just like they don't let you leave if you don't can't drink water. I was so sick. I was in recovery for hours after like in the recovery room.
But then that went on for six weeks.
No, like it was hell. That's brutal. And again, he said this wasn't normal. So that was actually making me feel worse at the same time. I'm like, something's wrong. I should have never done this. Like I literally ruined my body, like ruined everything. Um, I was home. I started like, I mean, I went home and was with my parents, like ended up going.
I tried being home in my apartment when I was with my boyfriend at the time. So he was, you know, trying to be as supportive as he could be. Um, but I ended up going and living with my parents because they were concerned. And like, I, I was nonstop throwing up. I could not eat. And this went on so long that I got in like a very scary, like deep depression. Um, I, did not want to live anymore.
Like I would literally just stare at the wall all day and be sick. Like it was just horrifying. And I think at that time, I, yeah, I had a lot of regret. I was like, oh my God, I've been this person for this. I've been this person that people like looked up to online for this whole time of like, oh, I won't say body positive because that wasn't me.
But I always said if I was uncomfortable in my body or struggling, I was very open that I was struggling. But I was this person that was like, but be confident in whatever you look like. And I still do believe that. And I believe that anyone can. If you are in a bigger body, you could be happy. You could be healthy. No one could tell you're unhealthy unless you only know your health.
And I have so many friends that are. I actually was so jealous of those people and wanted to get there. And I couldn't because my journey was different. And I was in pain. I was struggling with health. And this is what I felt I needed to do.
Over a year, yeah.
