If it helps? I had a super easy surgery experience. Zero nausea, minimal pain, no vomiting, perfect recovery. LOVE my sleeve:) I've felt terrific from the day of surgery. Worst part for me was the presurgical diet. Everything else was much easier than I expected. Figured it couldn't hurt to hear good experience....while you're reading horror stories. LOL:) (and everyone does that, too)

So I had a NSV today..... on the plane back to the UK from my holiday to Lanzarote, I got to fasten my seat belt easily AND tighten it up by at least 8". I always just automatically set it to the longest it'll go and squeeze it shut, sitting uncomfortably until we're allowed to take it off. Well, not anymore! Yipeeee!

Hi everyone, I have what may be an unusual situation in that I am not "settled" in my life. Because of illness and disability I am temporarily living in a small town (less than 200 people) in the middle of nowhere. Once I lose weight and get some orthopedic surgery, I am going to move. Here's my dilemma. I have started a program (two nutritionist visits) in one clinic that is 60 miles west. Very good reputation. There is also a clinic about 50 miles east, also with a good reputation. In my imagined (hoped for) future, I will be living in the town that is 50 miles east, which places me 110 miles away from my doctors if there is a complication in the coming years. I am wondering if I should switch over to the program that is in the town where I will be living; it seems to make more sense to me that in case of emergency the hospital has my records and the surgeon and staff are right there. I'm getting a bit nervous because as I research RNY I keep seeing a lot of folks going back to get gallbladder surgery, or other emergency surgery for problems related to their RNY even years down the line. It just seems like it would nice to be in the same city as your doc. So--Is it better to have your surgeon nearby or does it really matter, as long as you have good medical care available? Thanks for any advice you can give me, I am questioning everything right now.

Wow, that's nice!

This is the sort of thing you should see your doctor about, especially if it has lasted three days. Foamyness is generally caused by excess fat or mucus in your stool, but this may be a symptom of a larger issue. Since you've cut out carbs though it probably means that it's not a gluten sensitivity.

Take me with you, I'll slap the bad **** outta your hand. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol. Hmm not for sure I mean I’m pretty sure you already tried to explain it to him. Idk use flash cards 😂

I see that you are in NJ as am I. Would you mind telling me what hospital you had your surgery at and the name of your surgeon? I'm scheduled for overlook so just curious. We also have similar stats so I'm hoping my surgery goes as smooth as yours seems to have gone. Thanks.

I guess I'm still queezy because I tried having some oatmeal as a snack and it came right up. I'm way behind on liquids. I'm going back to clears only now. Got to let the system recover. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app
