Big Guy I'm on the choo choo to chubbytown as well, my surgery is Feb. 17th and I'm doing exactly what your doing I think it's normal? I start my liquid diet on Tuesday so guess what tonight I'm going to Celebrate with some beer and a shot of Jack to say goodbye to the old me and to the beginning of the road to the new me. It's funny we are on similar paths as well this past summer we were in Universal studios and I had to be sausaged into a ride with my son they had to squeeze me into my seat it was one of many aha moments that lead me to this decision. Good Luck to you Brother! See you on the other side.

Serious Question. How is WLS the "wrong way"?
chubbsey1 replied to LipstickLady's topic in Rants & Raves
Hello Lipstick Lady, My two cents go as follows, i'm a rookie by the way my surgery is in about three weeks. I believe that folks are inherently just judgemental. The first time I was actively following surgery over a year ago I made the mistake of sharing my decision with friends and family, I couldn't believe the resistance i received from a boat load of people who had no clue and didn't due the research I did and yet there it was basically I was labelled lazy and crazy, opinions are like a$$holes everybody has one and occasionally they spew forth diahrrhea. I think we are all judgemental to an extent I think it's just in our nature as social creatures. One persons wrong way is anothers right. Ultimately it's our,yours and my decision because we usually know what is best for us. I am nervous as heck yet I know if I dont push foward the myriad of obesity related illnesses that I have are going to bury me sooner than later and you know what I'm not ready to push daisies just yet. As the saying goes "It's hard to be a saint in the city." -

What's after your EGD?
chubbsey1 replied to chikesweightlossjourney's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had to go for a cardiac stress test/echocardiogram but I have heart issues, also next week I go for my hospitals own pre-surgery testing. Good luck and check with your insurance coordinator for the steps you need to take for your particular Dr. it's usually a multi-step process. -
Severe Constipation: Advice Please
chubbsey1 replied to jtubb's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Increase your Magnesium intake. I'm pre op and have had this issue as well. I take Costco brand magnesium citrate 2 pills 3x a day and let's just everything works like a well oiled machine. If you can't tolerate pills there are magnesium drops but taste awful. -
I'm done telling folks. They don't get it
chubbsey1 replied to wannaBthinsoon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told everyone two years ago (Big mistake) My friends had a fatty intervention with a "medical professional" and the evils of (gasp) weight loss surgery. Needless to say I postponed my surgery (vsg next month) this time I just told immediate family and my two closest friends, so far so good. -
Reoccurring hiatal hernias
chubbsey1 replied to alexsisv's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Your post makes me nervous because when I go for my sleeve next month I'm also having a hiatal hernia repair. How does that work? Do they place a surgical mesh to patch it up? just curious. I know my father inlaw had a hiatal hernia repair last week and he wasn't allowed to do any sort of lifting for a month. -
