I am not in a similar situation not but wonder if you have reason to choose sleeve instead of bypass. Many people with history of gerd opt for bypass.

Yeah I get that. I have RA. I stopped Celebrex about 6 months ago and then began CBD oil. It's working for me. Has your mom tried CBD oil? She might talk to her doctor about it if she hasn't. It might give her some well needed pain relief. It also helps inflammation.

My surgeon encouraged me to choose the sleeve over bypass because the previous hernia surgery is less likely to cause complications with the sleeve. And I'd like to eventually be able to take anti-inflammatory meds again. My mom had bypass 14 years ago and she can't take anything much for her arthritis because anti-inflammatory meds burn her stomach. I don't want to be in the same boat when I'm her age.

The leftovers away, cake in snack cabinet. I do have my own ‘snack’ cabinet lol so no see no loss

Mine starts today! We are in this together! 🥰

Wow!!! This post really went off the rails! Lol I started shaking my head at the inflammatory responses & stopped reading about 80% of the way through. Some people really like to argue. [emoji38] Sent from my Pixel 4a using BariatricPal mobile app

My first appt was in Jan. 2022 and today (04/27) I was scheduled for surgery in May 16th 2022. In my case 4 months in total. That 3 months was for WLP insurance requirements

My husband is cold all the time too and he always wears two pairs of socks, even in summer. He says if his feet are warm he doesn’t feel quite as cold. I have the opposite problem. I am always hot. I am not sure which would be a worse problem to have, you can only take so many clothes off you know. Lol.

So day 1 is in the books and I'm now on to day 2. Something I learned is that I have to make sure I'm getting enough calories. I only had just under 600 calories for the day yesterday and I was beyond tired, had headaches, and felt shaky. Today I'm making sure I have between 1000 - 1200 calories, and hopefully I'll feel better.

My experience....is that Infidelity, by itself, is almost never the integral issue. Infidelity is a symptom of a bigger underlying problem in a marriage that isn't working. People in happy marriages don't cheat. Not to say there aren't marriages and couples who survive a bout of cheating...but it's a huge red flag that more is wrong than meets the eye. Without addressing the underlying issues, the marriage becomes doomed. Remember that 85% of people who get bariatric surgery get divorced. If you're "happily married" and cheating...you're either a massive narcissist, or are in serious denial.
