am not sure what a turtle neck means.....forgive me for being stupid. i want you at the dr today....if they are closed, you take your happy self to the ER....no questions. if its strep or a cold or a foot fungus i dont care. but you are gonna learn that if something doesnt feel right to let the dr know. you know i dont beat around the bush and tell it straight and i'd expect it from anyone if i had a question. so this lets you know i care

i swear to god if i was there i'd whip your a s s i mean that in a nice way. please go to the DR or the ER your healthy is more important than a plastic necklace. my hub told me you wanted this WLS, now you do what you have to to make it work and live with it.

i know i said i would not respond on your threads but i have changed my mind. quit wallowering and go to the dr or the ER if you are hurting or in pain.

you wicked child........

pattygirl, may i suggest.....a wittle something.....hope not offended.....drizzle some chocolate over him or yourself.....dont forget the whip cream.....(ff of course)..

"Being negative is easy. There will always be a downside to everything good, a hurdle to everything desirable, and a con to every pro. The real courage is in finding the good in what you have, the opportunities in every hurdle, and the pros in every con."

everywhere in life, there is the nellie (negatives) try to stay away from them as they are just miserable and will try to make you a nellie also

during my post op healing as i was healing and swollen, (chugging water would have hurt or been uncomfortable)....hence the sip part....once all the swelling subsided, things are normal. i drink (sometimes gulp if i am parched)...you learn by doing and seeing how your band works.

**Obesity is a chronic condition, eating disorder for whatever reasons, no self control, no self dicipline, which is why I needed the surgery..as a last resort......to stop me, prohibit me, from overeating..... And in my case that is exactly the way it works.....hope it never changes....** i agree with this 100%

that is me. i have always had serious cramps. i recall in high school staying home because hurt so bad...flash forward 100 yrs...i still get bad cramps. and i use to use motrin 800 to help...cant do that anymore...i asked my dr about that and midol and he said to stick with the liquid tylenol (i get the cvs brand) or little caplets....i manage it kinda by staying ahead of the pain.....i knew it was coming so i started the meds right before......def hurts......hot heating pad/hot warm bath soothes me...hope it passes quickly for you.....i am having big pain today....i feel bad for anyone who annoys me today.

you are right. he did not deserve you. karma is a mean b**tch i hear....

mani and pedi hands down..........works everytime

if going through banster hell, keep going....it too will pass if you have patience.

i have no idea about those insurances but this is a great post that can clearly show everyone to always check with your doctor and insurance as they know the answer.

thank you for writing something well thought out and that needed to be said.

agree here the only thing i add is when i eat (i make it count with good foods)

my dr said *not in all cases* that larger people can lose more.i lost a fairly large number but it depends on the person's body mostly and also the type of diet (i was on liquids only) where some may eat something..

whichever you decide, please note its not a miracle cure all. you have to change what you eat and how much and def develop a new outlook on exercise. my dr said to me no matter what WLS you get, if you dont adhere to the rules of eating, you wont lose. choose what works for you. dont go by the pounds you see lost on some people. success varies by person.

i still use my whey extreme in chocolate from walmart delish....and i have one every morning.....and when i want a chocolate snack... sometimes i put in freezer and freeze til almost slush....28 grams protein per scoop

3500 calories is a pound whether you eat it or drink it. you have to eat less calories than you burn off to lose weight. each dr is different as is each person...what i take in cal wise may not work for someone else. i am just very aware of the (number).
