All,
I didn't know about some of the things that were mentioned until this afternoon after making a purchase of another product. Picked something really basic so it shouldn't interfere taste wise...

Thank you Ann,

First of all, love that avatar! My first surgical experience was a disaster that almost killed me, literally. I do keep in mind that I had just quit smoking and had bad lungs. 13...

Hey Joe,
WLS is a personal experience. I understand the idea of not wanting to share. ff. If you only want to tell a few people, that is your decision and a good one. I tend to tell people in...

I haven't been posting because I didn't really have much to say. I tried before but someone was rather rude and told me I shouldn't feel the way I do. I chose to not post than be told that. With...

Sally,

I plan on going through with it. I was just surprised at all of a sudden being nervous with all that I know and have done. It is kind of throwing me. I am still acting in accordance with...

] Hello All,

I have been working really hard to qualify for the sleeve and had my last doctor's appointment today. I am meeting with my patient advocate next week to determine...

I am not being sarcastic but have you considered cleaning your ears out? Carbamine Peroxide is available in ear cleaning kits over the counter at many pharmacies. The kits have every thing you...

You are doing FANTASTIC!!! Keep up the good work and do what your doctors tell you. You will be at your goal before you know it.

RehabNurse,
You took 2 weeks off because you are a very smart nurse who took the time to care for yourself!

As a fellow nurse, I didn't think much about my weight until I hit 275. Many people didn't believe it being I am a man and tall. It was my doctors saying stuff to me. Then I became hypertensive...

Congrats on getting off some medications. I know that must be a relief on your wallet as well!

Happiest of birthdays to you! Losing 14 pounds in 2 weeks is a great gift to yourself. I don't feel comfortable on some exercise equipment. I have a fear of falling off, so I can relate. Just do...

Congratulations!!! I know that must be a load off of your mind. I am also near the end of my finalization and can't wait to hear it's a go.

I haven't posted much on the forum because I have been busy qualifying for surgery by my insurance requirements. Six months of appointments are required, so it has kept me busy. On June 1, I will...

Let me say this, that you are trying this means that you are a winner! You are not letting your weight control you any longer. Every one is different. You say you mentioned it to your surgeon. If...

On Monday, I have a 7 hour education class about bariatic surgery. As a nurse, I have studied so much stuff on my own. I have decided to act like I know nothing about this and listen to what the...

Maintaining weight loss is always a problem for many people. I've lost approximately 500 pounds over the years. That is why I am in the 300's now, because I am a chronic yoyoer. If that is...

Sounds wonderful. Know that there your health will thank you for all of this!

Keep up the good work. As long as you are losing weight it is helping your heart and diabetes. Take it one day at a time. You are almost at the half way mark! Only 5 more pounds to go and your...

Good job!! Keep at it and you will be healthier!

That sounds like a great deal! Do I get nausea thrown in for free?

Congratulations! That is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the bit of humor! Learning to laugh at ourselves is a wonderful gift to give ourselves.

Here is hoping you have a successful surgery and easy recovery! May your hard work pay off!;)

Thank you so much! Are you feeling positive about surgery or anything else. I go for the educational part a week from Monday. I can hardly wait, but know it will happen when it happens. Are you...
