Should I Tell The Inlaws About My Surgery?
I_Sd8_em replied to soontobeskinnymini's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hard to say. Your first thought or instincts are usually the correct ones. Obviously you thought it was a bad idea b/c you didn't tell them. So what makes you think you should tell them now? Hard to keep things from family but sometimes it is the thing to do. Its you life your choice and this is a major decision that can't be undone once completed. Choose wisely. It is easier said thatn done and I personally have flip flopped several times b/c there are many negatives and positives. Good Luck to you. -
4 Days Post Op And I'm Sooo Tired
I_Sd8_em replied to Quelyn01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After a surgery and general anesthesia it is normal to feel tired or jet lagged for few days. Especially when using pain meds and not eating as normal. -
Yep! many folks are low D3

This happens often, even in a pcp office it is just as common to not be sent as it is the recv'g center to have lost it and say they never got. I work in a hospital and see it often from pcp's office. You may be surprised about your super professional bunch if you worked there. I'm just saying crap happens! Remember it only takes 1 # to be off on a fax machine and things can be sent to the wrong place, wrong dept, etc... Just saying.

those symptoms can be the nutrition changes as well. after you get more healed and intake increases have your T checked if still concerned. Blood test at hospital or dr's office or the swab type test offered at some pharmacies.

Most of the mass killings are rival drug cartels killing each other off. You can die anywhere and anytime.

To Tell Or Not To Tell....

Well 2 people can keep a secret only if one is dead and the dead still tell tales. Also you've already told several people so it won't be long before your sister knows! -
peripheral neuropathy comes form many dz processes, malnutrition, diabetes, hypoxia, pressure on the nerves, as well as neurological demylenation disorders. Causes By Mayo Clinic staff It's not always easy to pinpoint the cause of peripheral neuropathy, because a number of factors can cause neuropathies. These factors include: Alcoholism. Many alcoholics develop peripheral neuropathy because they make poor dietary choices, leading to Vitamin deficiencies. Autoimmune diseases. These include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Diabetes. When damage occurs to several nerves, the cause frequently is diabetes. At least half of all people with diabetes develop some type of neuropathy. Exposure to poisons. These may include some toxic substances, such as heavy metals, and certain medications — especially those used to treat cancer (chemotherapy). Infections. Certain viral or bacterial infections can cause peripheral neuropathy, including Lyme disease, shingles (varicella-zoster), Epstein-Barr, hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS. Inherited disorders. Examples include Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and amyloid polyneuropathy. Trauma or pressure on the nerve. Traumas, such as motor vehicle accidents, falls or sports injuries, can sever or damage peripheral nerves. Nerve pressure can result from using a cast or crutches, spending a long time in an unnatural position or repeating a motion many times — such as typing. Tumors. Growths can form directly on the nerves themselves, or tumors can exert pressure on surrounding nerves. Both cancerous (malignant) and noncancerous (benign) tumors can contribute to peripheral neuropathy. Vitamin deficiencies. B Vitamins — B-1, B-6 and B-12 — are particularly important to nerve health. Vitamin E and niacin also are crucial to nerve health. Other diseases. Kidney disease, liver disease and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) also can cause peripheral neuropathy

Sleeved For Six Days Now!
I_Sd8_em replied to Felicity's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Glad you are doing well! As far as too young? I would look at like you do have a chance to improve but in general the success rates are low. Also comorbidities are risky so too young? NO. Good Luck! -
Any One Have Trouble With The No Drinking With Food?
I_Sd8_em replied to Aug2ndsleever's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I like to drink with a meal also. However, it is immediately after that I drink the most. B/C I eat so fast that drinking during the meal isn't really happening anyway. -
