wine does not affect you???

Hi folks. Dutchgal in California here. I was a frequent blogger here this past Fall and I have backed off blogging but I have been following everyone's journey. I've had several people contact me...

can i ask how much?

I think the whole purpose of this surgery is to get folks back onto the healthy track....more than losing weight, it's your road back to health. High fructose corn syrup and carbonation have no...

sorry....non nurse here. what is c-diff? a hospital staph infection?

Very inspirational. Thank you for that wonderful story. Good luck in your recovery!!! You're going to do well.

Joy, I was so glad to see your blog as I have been wondering each day...'where is she?' It is wonderful to know you survived your surgery and that you are making progress. Now please repeat one of...

I WISH I was just 25 lbs overweight...lol

Dying is the last thing I think about. Not even concerned or worried about it. Last year I went under twice to have carpal tunnels and a hand joint replacement. I was out for a tubal in 1990 and I...

How is your hair?? Any loss yet? Very much?

Welllllll. I needed to read that post!! Thank you. I have been stressing...'can I ever be normal and have a damn glass of wine once in a while".......this wonderful blog helped me alot. Thank you...

Well, I was on vacation all last week and ate like a PIG and enjoyed every mouthful. I make a killer apple pie, my dressing was to die for and well, it was a great week with my kids home from...

Thank you for leading us to this video. I have a question now: The Sleeve surgery, post recovery, focuses on eating proteins.....cheese, meats, chicken, etc....which, per this video, are acidic in...

how are you doing with fluids/water???

tetra pack?

Welcome Elissa..........what is a revision surgery for the Bypass? I've never heard of that. Do they Sleeve you and reconnect the small intestines??? I am just wondering.

What a great idea! Never even thought of adding egg whites to a smoothie or shake. Thanks for the heads up!!!

Mummmmmmm.......I could live on Mashed Potatoes and Gravy!!

Mine will cost for the hospital co-pay of $50.00. Kaiser. My doctor is foreign born and I know two women who have sleeved with this dr and have zero problems. There are three other American...

but not everyone gets reflux, even after surgery.....gosh, I hope I'm not one!

The only thing I am reallllllly worried about is the hair loss. Not the surgery at all. Not pulmonary embolism......just my hair cuz I haven't got much anyway.

but does this event go away.......or does it continue until you learn to slow down? I inhale my food and know it will be quite a journey to slow it all down.

christy, are you till taking the Prilosec? I don't have heartburn/reflux and am somewhat concerned that this sleeve will cause me to get it, forcing me to have to take meds the rest of my life. One...
