Hey There!

Thanks for reaching out to me... Unfortunately, I can not make that weekend as I will be in New York... Have a wonderful time you "skinny gals"... And enjoy!! Micki

Truthfully for me....8 weeks post-op tomorrow... giving birth was easier for me ~ then the troubles I have with the constipation!

I suggest you start taking something today! As I waited 7 days...and it was extremely painful and awful. I didn't think I had to go..but even the liquids need to come out (sorry). And now I take...

It's posts like this one... that make me wish this forum had a "block" button!!!

I drink wine... on weekends and even some nights after work~ I like it...and my husband and I have a very "social life"... The kids are grown and out..so we meet friends for dinner, once or twice a...

Ha ~ I loved it! Thanks!

How touched she will be ~ when she reads all the nice things said about her! Isn't that what life is about ~ Happy Halloween to all!!!!

What a nightmare is right. My heart goes out to you BOTH... I would certainly be calling the AMA on your physican as it does not sound like he knew/knows what he is doing? I am so sorry for all you...

I went back after 2 weeks.. But I have an office job ~ so it was not to hard on me. I really didn't notice to much swelling either! Good luck..You'll be fine!

Yes... But you have to remember...this is a tool...And after doing all this...Hopefully that never happens..My downfall..is the wine at night!

I did the lap band in Nov 09, it slipped in January 2011 ~ and now I've done the sleeve (9/16/11) ~ As I wanted it done..once and for all. Yes, it's not reversiable..so why not go with something...

Hi Leigh: I too was very scared...As I liked the band (even though it slipped) and wanted another one. I had the sleeve done on 9/16/11 and have no complaints..The actual surgery for me, was easier...

Allie: You are beautiful..and your story has and will help so many of us! Congrats to you and God Bless!

I agree ~ I do not think your getting enough protein..I have a Potein Shake in the morning 12 oz of Isopure (50 grams of potein) ~ when I don't, my day is sluggish, I also sometimes feel sick. I then...

You can leave it on... In fact, I put Smiley Face Stickers on my Boobs.. I heard the entire Operating room cracked up!

Hey Butterfly...Congrats! Enjoy life!!!

Michelle: Don't leave here...just choose not to read some of the stupid stuff people post/write!! Anytime a forum is available, you will get negative comments, etc., especially if something doesn't...

Here's what I take daily: 1 chewable multivitamin, 1 vitamin D, 1 calium, 1 biotin and every other day, I take 1~B-12 sub-lingual.

I take Ducolax stool softners every day..and unfortuanately, have to take Ducolax laxatives at least once a week. But truthfully, I have always been a "non~goer"...

wow.. I never heard Caffeine increase ulcers... And I drink about 2/3 cups in the morning... I certainly can cut it out... What do you know about wine? As that my friends...is not something I'm...

Congrats to you... You must be so proud!

Vicki: Actually with so much less food ~ you won't be going that much..and certainly not 2 times a day! With the Lap band, I went about 2 times a week...and with the sleeve..it's less...

Thanks Connie... :o} ~ I'm going to stop at the drug store and get some magnesium on the way home!

Thank you Ladies.. As for me also, the constipation has been the worst.. I am living on Stool Softners and Laxatives.... I walk, I drink water.. I put benefiber in my coffee, potein, I drink prune...
