My Advice To All Newly Post-Op Sleevers...
MonicaR replied to JimmyGotSLEEVED's topic in Fitness & Exercise
This may seem like a dumb question, but what is weight training? What excersises are good for the stomach & arms? -
How long do you have to wait after surgery to take a shower? How about eat solid foods? Just curious, love my showers & don't like all liquid diets.

What Do You Want To Do When You Are Healthier?
MonicaR replied to Shape_Shifter's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh the chairs! I would love to be able to fit in chairs again. I have to sit sideways & tuck my rolls in & act like nothing so nobody notices. -
Keeping Surgery A Secret.....
MonicaR replied to blessedbeauty85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have only told my mother & that's because she is my ride there. I do feel embarrassed by having to do this but I also feel like nobody really cares so why bother. I do sometimes wanna tell just to be able to talk about it, but I have my mom & now this forum, so that helps. If all goes well with insurance, I will be having mine done on Aug 22! I can't wait! -
Is FMLA & disability 2 different things?

I really am leaning more towards the sleeve. I feel like that is what I need, a tool that will help, because I want to change my lifestyle. I am so tired of feeling hungry all the time even after I eat

I weigh 430 pounds & the more research I do keeps me leaning towards bypass but I want the sleeve more, any advice?

Is Keeping The Secret Possible?
MonicaR replied to Nikki613's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not telling anyone but my mother. I am saying I am gonna have hernia surgery & I started a diet now so when they see changes it won't be so bad. -
I was wondering about the same thing, I can totally relate to you. There have been so many times when I have to make excuses cuz I don't fit in the seat, i'm tired of being so fat! I pray this works out for you & me.
