Mine came the day after surgery. Two weeks early. Ugh. Be prepared ladies.

What do you mean by complication? Leak, nicked spleen, etc. ? Or reactions like nausea, blood pressure issues, etc. ?

Ann, my heart breaks for you. I can imagine the excitement you had at a new and healthier you only to be dealt this had. As others have said, I too have PTSD from events from my child hood. I also...

Yep, started taking them whole at about 4 days out. I had to try because some tasted so bad I almost gagged.

I take several medications, and have to say I dread it every time. The first few days I crushed them and tried to get them as far back as I could on my tongue. Now I just take them one at a time. The...

Thanks edubb99, it sounds like we have a similar history with migraines. I hadn't heard the research about WLS eliminating them so I hadn't gotten excited, but now I'm excited at the probability they...

I have had migraines all my life, some period of times better than others. I changed some things up in January and reduced them to the once a month cluster with many of those manageable.

Any of you...

Dmart27, I was a little concerned about being cut too, it seemed invasive and harsh. I watched the procedure on YouTube and felt much better. (Don't get me wrong, it was a little hard to watch...

Welcome to the family!

Thank you so much for your honesty. I too am a food addict, at a very young age I said to a close friend "if I drank like I eat I would be an alcoholic"....I had no idea how true those words were.

Argos and Julie, thank you for your honesty. As a pre-op patient I think it is important to hear all perspectives/opinions. It is so easy to look at tickets and see the weight loss, or read posts of...

My husband will be happy to hear about his side affect.
