I am doing the Couch to 5K program, it starts with small time periods of running and then walking and the running periods gradually increase.

Thanks for reaching all the way to the bottom of the barrel for something positve!! It totally made me laugh out loud - and I definately needed that!!

To me it was most definately worth it!! Yes I would do it again even knowing what I know now. I would never have been able to lose 74 lbs. without the sleeve and be 11 lbs. from my ultimate goal,

Take it easy and listen to your body and you will be fine!!

Percocet and Lortab are currently my best friends!!

It definately sounds like an allergic reaction/ sensitivity to the adhesive. Hopefully when you see the doc he can remove whatever is causing you the problem and replace it with something...

So I don't get the chance to be on here as much as I would like with work and the kids activity, but I actually have today off since I worked this past Sunday. So I just thought I would puruse...

Congratulations on starting the journey to a healthier you.

Ok, sounds like I am jumping in the middle here, because I don't know all of the details, but sounds like you are doing better. My suggestion to you is to point blank tell your PCP that you need to...
