A mother daughter thing
rickyswife replied to determined1103's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wow she is so very young to be getting a sleeve. Teenagers can be that way..... so can adults.... all in all in the end if she does get sleeved and you have gone before her you will be her rock..... you will pave the way. I am glad she will be going through the classes and wish I could have had them. -

Am I just a big baby?
rickyswife replied to marfar7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was shocked at the amount of pain I felt...... it was horrid.... I took to the bed.... had to have my husband or daughter help me get up..... oh the pain was bad..... took all my drugs... and then some (don't ask)..... but they helped me to sleep, which in turn helped me to feel some better.... food or shakes had no interest for me.... so liquids were the option.... but man oh man..... one day I began to fart for nearly thirty minutes straight, big ones, little ones, quiet ones, loud ones, musical ones, award winning fart-o-rama went down in my bed.... blew the sheet up in the air and it got hung int he ceiling fan... but oh the relief.... as soon as the festival of farts was over.... my pain almost ceased and I could get up on my own..... keep walking maybe like me you just need to fart. -
umbilical hernia?....
rickyswife replied to ReadyNewM3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have one.... they did the surgery ard it...... left ti there.... in the future should I want a tummy tuck (insurance does not cover) I can go in to have the hernia repaired (insurance does cover) and while I am under for a covered procedure have the tummy tuck done at an affordable price.... -
I have high BP and one of my goals is to come off the meds.... we can and WILL do this!

46 pounds lost, and wearing the same clothes?!?
rickyswife replied to megansmommy123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay.... I just love this post, it explains how I felt..... at 50 pounds I was still wearing the same clothing, the only thing loose was the bra (sad to report).... and people were not even commenting on the fact that I had lost 50 pounds.... I was like.... someone please notice, I have been working so hard... and then I lost a few more suddenly my 26/28 were too big (had yardsale made nearly 500.00 off of the plus size clothing, not joking, TRUE STORY made close to 500.00 ) so I went for the 24s, guess what I totally went from 26/28 right to 22 BAM... no stopping at 24 at all, happened in a flash.... hang int here, I am in the niddle of a five day stall now.... but hanging there knowing that my body will, yes it will catch up. -
8 week stall has become rapid gain. HELP!
rickyswife replied to ChefEm624's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You might want to get your BP checked, I have BP issues and weigh myself everyday, I am on meds.... and I do retain water, I gain 2 to 3 pounds everyday, and somehow magically lose it while I sleep.... if I were ever to gain 5lbs in one day I am to go to the doctor..... but yes everyday up 2 or 3.... and it just idssapates overnight.... where does it go? -
I agree, if your insurance will cover then by all means try to use it..... are all of your efforts documented by a Dr. you may be able to fast track it....
