Valzie, I wouldn't say anything about being overweight...your weight is not what defines you as a person...He has already shown an interest in you, so just go and enjoy yourself...he may be overweight....good luck...I hope you have a great time...

not me, I have only had three fills, but after each one, I felt fine....the last fill was just a small one, and then the last doctors visit I was due for a fill, but since I had lost nine pounds in six weeks, they said I didn't need one..doc said he didn't want me to be to full...maybe yours is to tight..

I pulled my port!
Big As Life replied to want2beme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You are probably fine...I know that it hurts when you move the wrong way, but I doubt that you have pulled your port out of place...it is stiched in pretty good...I pulled a suture(just by standing up) and it hurt really bad, I was so afraid that I had messed up the port, but it was fine... -

Anyone have surgery rescheduled due to liver?

Dee Dee, How bad do you want this? Start over...this time make sure you drink your slim fast, drink lots of water, sugarfree drinks, after three days I was allowed to have a small green salad...I had to give up one slim fast to eat that, but it is so worth it...and remember fat free dressing...YOU CAN DO THIS....HANG IN THERE....IT WILL GET EASIER...

Lots of bloating and discomfort...feeling alone
Big As Life replied to meghntx's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Megan, Sweetie, this is normal...just give it a couple of days and you will notice the bloating going away...just continue to walk and drink little sips of water....each day you will start to feel better...I was on pain medication for the first few days....and then I was much better....hang in there...it is going to be okay...
