My phone contact told me she went dancing 2 days after surgery. It could prove to be a nice anniversary. Congradulations on both the surgery and anniversery!

Get the juice cooled for me lorip and shelly. I'll see you there!

Hey Shellybellyrelly, I hope to see you there! It's like that old Macy's comercial Open, open, open! I can't wait!

It's natural to miss them, just remember how she will run to you when you come home. Lots of hugs and kisses then!

Have you tried prune juice? Mira-lax is a powder used in liquid. I would try the juice first. I haven't the sleeve yet, so I'm telling you not from sleeve experience. Just what I will be using.

yes, and we'll have clear liquids, lol, sounds like fun.

Yes I'll be flying in to san from cvg. My son plans on going with me if he gets his passcard on time. Where are you flying out of?

Hey, congradulations on your date. I will be there on 9/22/11. I just paid it off today

Sexy Mexi, he he he, I like that

How about September"s Slimsters

Congradulations wishes!

Congradulations!!! We will be September sleeve siblings. I'm on 9/22/11

I only told those I knew could keep a secret. Like you my inner circle, the ppl I respect are the only to know. I didn't tell everyone when I got a hysterectomy either. Many ppl feel they have a right to know everything about your body and will be hurt to find out they are not in your personal inner circle ( if someone blabs). In my case, this is my body and I don't billboard my medicines or surgeries.I had also made up my mind about having the surgery and didn't want to invite criticisim.

I love this story, and I love your proud Papa!

I haven't told my gp, my gastroligist or anyone that has said, "Oh, you look fine". I have told my husband,children,a cousin ( she had previous wls) and parents with instructions they don't tell anyone else. I have mean gossips in my family and in my oppion if they don't contribute to my life they don't need to know. I also regret telling my mom, she is afraid for me and cries when we speak of it.

I am heading into vsg surgery next month and I have been watching the forum for anyone who has had the surgery and has advice for those who have Chron's/ Colitus. Does the surgery trigger our illness? I know that soy irratates the bowels, is there a protien without soy? Thank you

You guys are too funny!

I hope so. That would be fun to see you there!

I found out through my childs nurse that caffine restricts the body from absorbing iron and calcium. You may want to get decaf until you can verify this (that way you won't get sick with lack of iron or calcium in your diet).

Welcome to the forum. I'm rooting for you.

I'll be going 9-22-11 can you up your date? My son is comming along to help with the gear.He got the time off from work to help me and he would never leave a lady without help.

Hi and welcome Jim.

The middle of my bmi puts me at around 120 lbs. The last time I was that size I wore 501 jeans ( 28,32). I can't imagine as a grown woman ( who has given birth) that I would ever be that size again, or be healthy at it. I will put my goal there because, I don't know what my shape should be now. I won't be afraid to change my goal if I find myself not looking lean, but gaunt.
