Today is just one day. We all have our moments! Hang in there!

Hey Ladies? Anyone had VSG also had a C-section? Either style (T-inscision or bikini)? How does the recovery from the actual surgery compare? I have had both styles of c-section and wondering what I should be prepared for... Better? Worse? Completely different?

Thank you ladies! That has definitely given me some perspective.

Hello every one! This is my very first post on this forum and is definitely the hardest one for me to write. I am just starting on my bariatric surgery preparations, expect surgery in late Oct- early November... and I am very excited to finally be taking this step. The timing is working out both wonderfully and horribly for me. Wonderfully because this year both of my boys will be in school and I have cut back on my volunteering so that I have a lot of time to devote to my health and lifestyle changes. Horribly because we are a military family and my husband will be deployed just before the time of the surgery and throughout the majority of the first year. He's not to happy about not being here to support me and help out but grudgingly admits that in all other aspects it is a great time to to it. This type of window will not open up to me for at least 4 years, since in the spring we are being stationed overseas and I would have to wait until we got back to have the surgery. I am generally highly independant and self-reliant, but for this I know I will need help.That is why I am here , but getting involved by asking for help is hard for me to do. After all isn't asking for help the hardest thing to do in the first place? So there it is. Here I am, will you please take my hand and show me around? Let me know I'm not alone when I have two screaming kids and an empty bed to look forward to? Thank you in advance.

Thank you And best wishes to your brother! I actually already have a house cleaner because I stick at cleaning and couldn't stand the filth anymore! LOL! I gave up my daily latte and it covered a monthly cleaning!

Aloha All! Hubby is Active Duty Navy- Submarines! We are currently stationed here in Pearl Harbor, but will be PCS'ing to Yokosuka at the end of this coming school year. I will be having my surgery at Tripler Army Hospital while my husband is out to sea and I am nervous about not having support here!
