Preventive measures: Angelina Jolie versus me
Takingcontrol replied to LI Gemini NY's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
True, very true! -
My hubby & I have gotten much closer since the surgery! He likes our new eating habits & is loosing weight too! You said she's upset cause she can't have surgery...is she heavy too? If so, why can't she?? Maybe that's the issue, I know if my hubby got it & I couldn't...I would be ticked!

Takingcontrol replied to sleevieray's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved in Dec & lost about 50 lbs! May be slow....but it's 50 lbs I would never have lost without it! So as long as the scale is moving in the right direction...I am Happy!! -

Sleeved 12/17 & I was stuck on a rd trip Thursday & all there was around was a subway...so I got a ham & turkey sub & ate about 4-5 bites then was full! I had no problems! I actually ate a few more bites a few hrs later & was fine! I wouldn't make a habit of it though...like they ^^^ said....I was full with just that little & that wasn't much protein!

So Governor Christy had lapband surgery.
Takingcontrol replied to Sleeve Goddess's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree! I sure wish I was a fly on the wall in that conversation with his surgeon! Maybe it was him who wanted the band & didn't listen to their advice?? Who knows! -

Farther out post-ops, do you feel different than other people?
Takingcontrol replied to BriDawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat out with friends often & no one knows I've had surgery...I feel absolutely normal! No one even bats an eye when I get a to go box! I eat slowly & am usually finished at the same time as they are & freq I'm not the only one getting a to go box! -
Ditto what ^^^^^they said!!

Takingcontrol replied to Smiley_Girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It will get better! I too had mine early one morning & was home by noon the next day...but I was fine, no trouble getting around. But I have had other surgeries & was sore...it gets a little better every day! Good luck on your new journey! -

Is vomiting going to be the new normal?
Takingcontrol replied to takingbackcontrol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/17 & only vomited once in the hospital when I first woke up, it was from the dye they put in to check for leaks. -
