i am sorry to read this.. did your PCD write a referral letter and advise this is a medical need for you? this is what i had to do to have mine done..i say keep trying GF CG

take the tylenol....watch the temp and if it gets higher, call dr or go to er this happened to me also.....hang in there okay

dont compare......i am 5'1 and i am different from anyone else so comparing to me for example is worthless........ i dont think my height makes a bit of difference..its on my profile already....it helps people to see my starting bmi of 62 or my beginning weight .....i prefer people not notice that i am short sh*it put my in my 6 inch wedges and we gots us a party

i have been on both sides (normal weight) and super morbid obese when i was super morbid, i knew it and did not need anyone to tell me that i needed to lose weight.and i knew what needed to be done to lose weight...it was up to me to either do it or not..' i would not say anything to anyone as i know how it (feels/would have felt etc).... if i am asked, then i will offer my story.....when i see someone who is struggling being overweight, my heart hurts..people can be happy in their life choice....just some are healthier..

to me a success story is a person TRYING and then following what their dr advised them to do in whatever WLS one chose to receive and doing the best they can.....some want to lose weight to fit into a tiny polka dot bikni and some (like me) wanted/needed to have this surgery just to be able to walk better (and truth be told, to be able to wipe my butt).... success to me is one continuing to exercise and eat as they know they should even if the scale doesnt move or it (even goes up for whatever reason, TOM, muscle building etc)....and not whining about stalls all the time..or having major surgery and shocked they havent lost 50 pounds overnight and what ami doing wrong nonsense......success means a person who stays the course no matter what ...a person who doesnt stop when they want too.....is not only a success, but my hero.

girl you know i gots me a pink whip with tassels......hub really likes it LOL anyhow, that girl in the picture WAS YOU.......its not now.....you are a hero my sunshine, my friend.....dont let me take off my 6 inch wedges today and kick your ass you go girl..call the dr and get back on track......you got this ♥♥

i agree.....lose skin is a after effect of losing a lot of weight i am dealing with that right now.....i think (myself) is my harshest critic and the world itself is quick to jump on the (bandwagon) so to speak i kudo the woman for showing herself to the masses....i dont think i could do that however i blog about my journey and try to keep it as real as possible...and just yesterday wrote a blog post about my saggy stomach and my hub sent this article link to me and i found this post today so it must be a sign for me to read it... some people think WLS is all butterflies and easy......then they find out its not....

please call your doctor and tell them you are in pain (they are the ones who will/can/could) prescribe you pain meds to help out......always refer to your doctor for pain of any kind and especially with pain meds.....feel better soon

walked.......with hub and doberman....... ♥

jami find a before your surgery picture.....go on....do it, i will wait.. that person wanted this WLS to lose weight.....and to get healthy.......remember all the things (we) had to do to have it? the appts, that seemed non stop and to never end?? the xrays, the blood work, the sleep tests, the mental evals the whole nine freeking yards...you did a lot of things to have this surgery..THAT is your motivation GF.....what a gorgeous woman you are then, now and forver... you know exactly what to do....do so it missy..... exercise (even if its a 5 min walk..its better than nothing) and eat....you know to eat as clean, fresh and non processed as you can....protein always first i dont know if my words helped but i am there with you.....its a never ending journey to better health day in and day out....somedays i am like BAH, gimme my coors light back dammit......but i remember what i looked liked.....that is not who i want to be again......neither do you..... much love ♥

i have plication and zero complications (also with the lap band).....the plication helps me feel (full) and hence my signal to stop eating....however, my dr stressed that if i continued to overeat/eat high fat/high calorie (liquid or food) that no WLS would help....... i wish you all the luck.

.......walked...........in the bright sunshine... hey i was walking on sunshine like katrina and the waves song.. yall sing w/me..i am walking on sunshine and dont it feel good ........hell yeah especially now that ole girl CAN..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE-tne5U

This is so true. Currently, I've been struggling. Old habits are creeping up. Along with missing some foods. I too, want to reach my goal. I'm going to shake it off, stand up, and get back on track. Thanks!! that is right.....do better today.....all we can do... whats done is done......you got this you know what to do and how so lets do it hang in there OK

like tom, i have never been stuck i think it was because like you, i was TERRIFIED so i eat slow, take wee bites and chew chew chew .... dont fret over things that may not even happen TMF was right, nothing to fear...you rule the band and eating, it just helps you stop..

what convinced me was me allowing myself to get so big that it was hard to wipe my butt..it was seek help or be cut out of my house one day...and also when i found out i was going to be a grandmother......to be healthy is worth everything...no matter what WLS you get, go for it and get well......my life NOW is better.....so will yours

a loss is a loss and if you lose weight, the WLS is working... you didnt gain weight overnight so you wont lose it overnight no need to be sad......should be glad..

glad you are back, have missed you ♥ look at a before picture of yourself....remember her? now look at the picture in your profile....can you say SEXY? can you say HOTT? i see it and say i wanna be like her That is your motivation GF you are a success.. so drink MORE as you know you need to and i got bat wings and a stomach/thigh that could make you go blind if you saw it on me (i am tan however LOL) i dont have to suggest ways for you to be a success as you already are..you are happy and i feel ya....but continue the path/journey of eating/living and enjoy this foundation of wellness the WLS we have gave us

i got married at the courthouse nearly 30 yrs ago and my mom/dad had a wee reception afterwards... i was in SC where he was stationed and his folks were in NC so they did not come (as we did it on the spur).....but the reality was it was what he and i wanted...to be married it was utterly romantic it was one of the things i will always remember i was standing in front of the judge next to my hub in his USAF uniform (sexy as hell) and hearing him say he would be with me forever no matter what and that to me was and is still the sexiest thing anyone ever said to me to think, he wanted to be with me til he or i died.....yes, very romantic and i am more in love today than ever i say, go for it

mikes when i was banded, i could not walk from my car to a stores door to shop i could hardly wipe my ass.....in fact, i was becoming near immobile.....so i just started walking (more like waddle) as much as i could.....and that is all i could do......walk......and those steps, day after day, added up......i cannot do nearly as much as some who post their exercises.....not even in my prime.....but i am doing what i can do and what works for me... as long as you do it, who cares what it is or how long you do it we all had to start the same way....... at the beginning there is never an end...its on going......proud of you GF

came home...put on my new sneekers (pink/black and hub got me pink skulls for laces) and off we went walking with kabo.....

feel better T

i am so very sorry for your loss

got home from work yesterday (that big yellow thing in the sky was sorta out)...def need to call fox news and alert them of his odd thing in the sky......anyhow, got ole man and kabo and off we went........WALKING
