What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
WillowsAngel_32513 replied to bigjoe102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
When I went to Carowinds with my kids this year and could not ride the three rollercoasters my kids wanted me to ride with them the most because I was too big to fasten the safety harness. That will all change this year, watch out Intimidator and Night Hawk.......already renewed our seasons passes... :tongue2: -

Band or Sleeve
WillowsAngel_32513 replied to futureskinnygirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mother also had a lot of input on what she thought about my surgery. I basically told her in a respectful way that i have researched this surgery for months as well as the band and I feel like his is the best option for me and that if diet and exercise alone worked i would not be fat and unhealthy now, that this is NOT a quick fix and it is NOT the easy way out. I am 35 years old and have been struggling with my weight all my life and this is no ones decision but mine......i told her I didnt need her approval just her support and weve been fine ever since. Good luck with your decision....... -
2 questions....from a pre op newbie
WillowsAngel_32513 replied to AprilKeepingItOff's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you eat too much sugar and your digestive system responds with a surge of fluid and it cause inflammation and nausea as well as tachycardia and sweating and a lot of pain. It usually happens with bypass, rare in the sleeve as our food is still digested normally.. -

WillowsAngel_32513 replied to PetraLuxor's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Looks great by the way..... -

This shouldnt hinder your surgery approval, a lot of us are on meds, i got approved and i take 6 pills a day. Thats why we are having surgery to get healthy and get off meds...

Treadmill Stress Test?
WillowsAngel_32513 replied to oklafarmgal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well, if they will have hiu jooked up to these monitors so they can monitor you heart while you are on the treadmill so they can see bow yiur heart reacts ti stress, if it is a myoview they will be able to see your arteries and if hou have any blockages, if it is am echo they will do an ultrasound of uour heart to look at the arteria amd blood flow. It WILL NOT be easy but its doable. They wil start you out walking and increase the speed and the incline to get to your maximum heart rate, it takes about 20 minutes, best of luck to you????
