High stress job and WLS
Hi there–
Wow– are you all wonderful in sharing your experiences– what a difference
it makes for a pre-op like me. And those WLS Surveys– those are GREAT–
please respond to those cause I am taking all your experiences and your
suggestions to heart as I get ready for surgery.
One thing I haven’t seen is about stress and WLS.
I work in the news business– so I am on deadlines all the time, under
incredible pressure, in an environment where people scream at each other on a
regular basis (fun, right?… well, actually, it IS fascinating!)
Since I am now really working on listening to my body (in prep for post LS
and just a good thing in general), I noticed that last week, I was really
under stress… I felt my stomach in “knots”… tense around the stomach
area, acid churning… the whole bit.
I am now concerned about that type of situation post LS… whether that will
be a problem keeping food and liquids down under this type of stress…
Does anyone out there also have a high stress job– and can you share your
experiences post-LS with being post LS on the job?
Thanks so much–
