Thanks for sharing...I am approaching my one year and I often think about what the future holds. I wonder if my stomach will stretch out and if I will ever get back to that horrible place. I am so...

I know I got sucked in. You get 4 dvds and a diet journal. I have not used the journal at all...so for $68 I need to get the most of the workout. Guess it's cheaper than an eleptical, bike or...

So I was watching tv and became curious about the P.I.N.K Method. They were claiming such amazing results in 3 mts. I bought it (sucker) anyhow...the diet is basic and pretty much what all of us are...

Heat was my only relief as well. It is such a nagging pain the pain meds did not help at all. Heat was the only relief. My husband found this long bean filled thing that could be heated or chilled....

Walk, walk and walk some more. Stay active. I followed south beach diet at my doctors orders. Walk again right after surgery. It really helps. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted.

My follow up visit is Oct 7 I will ask the dr what this is called and send you a personal message Kay.

I like the show, sometimes it drags a bit so I record it. It has been on for what? 8 years or so. This is the first time I have watched it feeling alot better about myself being down 100 lbs!!!! All...

Kay, my dr said there is medication some sort of blocker. If you are interested I will ask at my follow up. He perscribes it to bypass patients. It is to prevent gallstones. He said there is alot of...

patsygilligan The symptoms I was experiencing were: nasua, pain in the middle of my chest (like stabbing) while eating, pain under my right ribcage into my back, sometimes coldsweats after eating,...

I had my gallbladder removed this morning. It was not bad at all I have no pain that tylenol won't take away. The surgeon was the same one that did my sleeve. I have to say he must be an amazing...

I was tender for a short time not any real pain. It hurt more coming out. I hope everything is ok. Maybe after a day or so you will feel better. If not I would let your dr know.

You go LaTasha...It is about her and her beliefs. It is her body and this is America. Do what is right for you!!!!!!

IT STILL IS A BIG PAIN!!!!! just saying

I did not tell anyone I was having the surgery. I told work I needed to have surgery and that was that. Now that the surgery is over, when people pay me a compiment I tell them I had surgery. I do...

WOW...if you are in a good place financially, emotionally and you want a baby than have the baby. Could you live with yourself if you did away with this pregnancy??? If having the surgery is more...

Wow...I was just curious. I have to go to the clinic quite often and have blood work monthly. So this forum must really help those with all those little questions and concerns.

Those of you who have traveled great distances or gone to Mexico, how do you have follow up visits? Who do you see? I have a weight loss clinic right at the hospital that I had the surgery. This is...

Connie it's not that I don't want to share a picture I am just not that good at computers. I will make a point to have my son help me.

And people thought Dr Atkins was crazy in the 70's!!!! I think the man knew what he was talking about. RIP Dr Atkins I was a fan and agree white carbs are the devil-multigrain or whole grain is the...

Glad you are doing well. Anyone reading this, I agree, walking in the hospital really helped me with gas pain (chest, shoulders, and back) I walked and walked and walked. When I was not walking I was...

Thanks everyone, and Connie you seem like such a sweetie to bad your way over in WA. I'm in NY. Funny thing my primary Dr warned me about this. He said if I had the weight loss surgery I would lose...

Just found out my gallbladder is coming out. You guys were right on the money with that. I am actually happy that is all that it is!!!!! Thanks for your input and advice. Having the surgery 9/21...

Katie, I don't think you sound shallow. I get it of course it is nice to get compiments. I just know the way I became so fat was losing myself in my husband and kids. So when I made this decision to...

My doctor has me taking 3 Flinstone Complete vitamins, he stressed the Complete version. I also take 1000 mg chewable calcium tablet. I was taking biotin for hair loss but, not sure it really works.

I so agree with you, Patti. I am not comfortable giving out the numbers or even discussing it. A quick "you look good" is enough for me. The people that are like omg and wow and so on and so on. It...
