What to expect from the hospital stay?!
Takingcontrol replied to sparkle843's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I brought a pillow for my tummy too...but really didn't need it because I wasn't that sore. I also brought a large bowl, & a towel in the car for the ride home...just in case I got sick...but thank goodness I didn't! But gotta think ahead! :-/ -

I brought a robe for walking around! I slept most of the night of surgery & went home first thing the next morning...so really didn't need anything! -

Takingcontrol replied to Kimjo512's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Did your husband support your decision?
Takingcontrol replied to musiclover's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My hubby has been amazing! He was concerned at first, thought it was a drastic step....but after he realized I was serious & wanted it he even put me on his insurance because mine didn't cover WLS. He also needs to loose weight, so he is living my high protein low carb lifestyle change & has lost about 35lbs! Changing together has been a blast! -

Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?
Takingcontrol replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I can understand spouses being concerned, mine was too! & it would only escalate naturally if there were complications! But just as she has accepted that this was her decision...& it's a done deal...so should he! & should jump in & help her through this! I also feel that there were prob some stress issues prior to surgery, with a child with health problems there has to be, & I hope you guys get some professional help! That alone is enough to destroy a marriage, without the added stress of ANY surgery! I pray that your body will adjust & you will soon learn to adjust to your sleeve! (((Hugs))) -
Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?
Takingcontrol replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I freely admit...I WAS addicted to food! I still want things that are unhealthy! The great thing about this surgery, for me at least, is that it has forced me to confront my food issues! Yes, I still have cravings...& yes I have & will give in to those cravings occasionally...but my sleeve has made it a lot easier to pass them by...& if/when I allow myself to indulge, it's just a couple bites & I'm done! I'm sorry some regret their decisions...but for me it was the best thing I have ever done for myself! -
