Well 👅Matt Z , I know I'll never escape this life alive. Nobody dies if boredom around me and I may give someone a shred of hope and joy on a cloudy day! Makes me a little happy!happy!

Also ask for a scopolamine patch for the nausea. Stops it dead in its tracks.

Did the hospital give you zofran? That should help with the nausea. While I was in the hospital I didn't drink much either, I kept trying just so I could get discharged to go home. And once I was home I felt much better because I was in my own house.

I wish I had the Bypass back in 2011 when I had the band... Best thing I've done in a very long time. Had my 6 month check in today, down 87 lbs since March, 147 since my max. The surgery is much safer then it used to be, medical technology has advanced and the risk have reduced greatly as well. Just remember, the risk of the surgery is lower than the risk of not having the surgery if you are obese. Good luck!

You should just move on from the whole Insurance issue and seek out financing that is specific to plastic surgery. Start looking at options that are offered on this site like bariatric pal mx. It seems like so many people have had WLS and the plastics done in Mexico that it is just as viable an option as getting it done here in the U.S. at a much lower price. Good luck!

Hi guys! Yes I backed out literally last minute the first time around. I had so many hang ups about what I was about to do. I assure you it will be the best decision you could make for your future and those that love you. My very first video explains my issues in detail. Good luck and hope to see you on the losers bench!

I am down 118 total since my surgery on May 10. I’ve had zero issues since surgery minus the inability to eat scrambled eggs and lunch meat. Both things make me vomit every time I try them. Outside of that, no issues. I have been working out with weights since mid June when I was cleared to start lifting. I’ve been walking 5+ miles a day for the last few months. I started with half a mile, then a mile and very quickly jumped to 5 miles. Once you get past the first six weeks of walking it becomes so easy. Something I never would have said presurgery where my weight on my joints made small walks a chore. Now instead of adding miles to my walks I add speed. I just walk faster because I don’t have time to walk for hours on end. This past week I added some hills to my walks by doing different more hilly routes.

I thought I was losing slow too, till my doctor told me I lost 10 more pounds than my predicted weight loss. He said at this rate I will reach goal weight sooner than expected Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app

So I’m on my 2 week preop liquid diet and we decided to go camping this weekend. (Which was its own brand of hell in itself). I decided to freeze a couple bottles of Premier so they could naturally thaw in the cooler Saturday and be cold for today (Sun). Oh man, it did some weird separation in the thawing process and ended up being chunky. So not only did I have to endure my family enjoying grilled hamburgers, corn on the cob, and s’mores around the campfire, I had to choke down chunky peach premier.
