I'm sorry so many friends and family just don't get it. Would they do that to a person with a special diet due to cancer? I feel the fat is cancer and we are trying to heal from it. If they say you did it to yourself well so did smokers and I don't judge their choices. I have been thin many times but it has always come back and this is for me to heal. I don't expect others to give up their lives for my choice and food issues, but I hope to be strong and show them I made the right decision for me. The closest family members can want us to fail because they have and if we do it too it takes they failure blame off them. I have been up and down weight wise so many times and have been on both sides, I tried to never temp someone to do anything that they would regret eating later. Hang in there you can do it!

Just had my egd, so much easier than I expected or read. Met with surgeon am a go for the 19

Surgery at KCBaratrics next month, anyone else in the area?

Thanks all, we will go through it together. Let me know if I can help

Ok I lost during the six months but are waiting for egd then surgery in August. I found a movie of the actual surgery and half watching it made me calmer vs so nervous. I actually have to stay within my bmi or may get disqualified. They don't make any of the requirements easy.

Does anyone know why we can't have zantax or similar after the sleeve? What does it do?

Drink water and keep moving, you can do it! I understand totally I had six months of dr supervised dieting, I thought it would never end. I know you can do it!

Worry about today and each day's weight loss, his opinion can change greatly in your favor as you prove him wrong. You can do it, I believe.

Gas x dissolving strips I've read that you should bring to the hospital, could not find everywhere but did at target, some have suggested pillow for trip home, maybe heating pad. Have not gone yet but making lists

Way to go

Where do you find isoprene? Is it only online? Also I read people drinking the tea does the caffeine bother their sleeves?

I'm allergic to iodine and certain vitamins make my stomach hurt.

I feel it is up to the person if or if not you tell. I feel it is quite honest to say you were having gastric issues and had a procedure to fix it. Then move on or change the subject. I have had stomach issues in the past and when people tried to get me to eat things I didn't want I blamed it on my doctor and my ulcers. This way if the cooked something special for me they do not feel I'm rejecting them or it. I have my surgery in August some people I will tell or have been tod and the rest it will be the above. I wouldn't tell everyone about my period or women's issues so why would I tell everyone about this private body change. Your life. Your decision. Don't feel guilty!

It may sound strange but rubbing you forehead works on hiccups, it is even medical

I'm north of kc but it is great to hear from someone in the area

When I was "thin" before I wore a "slick" type of support panty hose so I could kind of stuff me here and there. I had them on when I saw a doc and he said that it is great for circulation too and to keep it up. I mainly bought them because my clothes didn't stick to them so I seemed smoothed out. I don't wear hose often now but hope it gets your mind on something that works for you.

You are to be admired!! I totally understand the steriod bit, just got a shot yesterday. I got Legionnaires pneumonia years back and it scared my lungs so every little bug totally knocks me out. I had 4 rounds of antibiotics and 4 rounds of steroids last September and barely remember the month. Nothing like what you have been through but I understand the endless hunger and chubby round face it causes. Keep up the good work.

Has anyone tried stomach wraps, cinching, stomach supports similar to pregnancy ones.?.?

Thanks all!

Has anyone been sent home and had to give themselves lovenox shots? It a blood thinner for blood clots?

Also what pain meds did you get an rx for and the costs? Lovenox can be 300-600 bucks What fun

I gained at least once in six months but made sure I stayed between my weight levels to qualify as bcbs told me if I went below my 35 with bmi I could loose out. But they also like to see weight loss as it is a sign during your waiting period that you can be successful. I made it and just got approved recently

You go girl

Anything severe should be a call to your doc in my opinion, will say a prayer for you

Saying a prayer for you.
